I am reviewing a copy of Up For Air through Abrahams Kids and Netgalley:

It doesn’t matter how hard Annabelle tries, she still struggles in school. The second she dives into the pool though she is unstoppable. Annabelle is the fastest swimmer on her middle school swim team over the summer she is asked to join the high school swim team changing everything.

Suddenly Annabelle has new friends and a high school boy starts treating her like she is special. Annabelle thinks she is finally starting to stand out in a good way. She’ll do anything to make sure her new team makes it to the Labor Day invitational including blowing off her old friends.

After a prank goes wrong, Annabelle is abandoned by the older boy and is unable to swim. Who is she without the one thing she’s good at? Heartwarming and relatable, Up for Air is a story about where we find our self-worth.

If you’re looking for a story about what it truly means to fit in I would recommend Up For Air!

Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading
