Breathing Not Required Book

When Gracie joins the synchronized swim team, she learns she has to work hard. She loves the sport, she's eager to succeed, and she'll do almost anything to be chosen to do a solo.

Gracie's friend Laura loves synchro too, but she's not going to kill herself over it. She thinks swimming should be fun. If only Gracie would stop taking everything so seriously.

Lively and good humoured, this book is a novel about competition, jealousy, and the importance of friendship.

Michele Martin Bossley has competed as a swimmer and coached synchro. An author of several books for young readers, she works in the editorial department of a daily newspaper.
