A big-hearted debut middle grade book featuring Korean Canadian swimmer Julia who gets sidelined days before the swim team's Personal Best Day because of an ear infection. I loved that this story revolved around a community center and the various people who worked there. Julia's parents own a sushi restaurant right beside the center and are great friends with members of the community.
An important book about determination, learning patience and being a good team member told from the point of view of a girl who just wants to swim her hardest. Includes some great illustrations and is perfect for fans of books like the Salma series by Danny Ramadan. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review. I'm excited to read more books about Julia and her family.
