Swim the Fly by Don Calame
5.0
Matt and his friends always set a goal to achieve during the summer. In past years, they have accomplished playing a thousand games of ping pong and collecting a thousand golf balls from a course. This summer, the goal is more difficult to achieve: Matt and his friends want to see a real live naked girl.
Matt is hoping that girl will be Kelly West, so he volunteers to swim the 100-yard butterfly for their team in order to impress her. There's just one problem: Matt can't swim 25 yards of butterfly before he feels like he's drowning. It's the most difficult stroke there is ' will he be able to do it in time for the championships?
And is there any chance that Matt and his friends will achieve their other goal?
I read this book for my job as a Teen Librarian, and I LOVED it. It's totally hilarious, and the jokes will definitely appeal to male readers. I was laughing so hard, my husband (a "reluctant reader") also read it, and he loved it too.
