Swim Team by Johnnie Christmas

Great graphic read. Following a swim team with such deep and powerful history and much historical detail to the story. Bringing in segregation of blacks and whites, putting it out front about why black persons today struggle with swimming due to the segregation and lack of resourceful swimming pools and communities. This novel shown light on protestors against segregation and segregated pools. I learned so much from this novel, and got so wrapped into the story of Bree and her dad as they moved to a new state. Recommend a great, entertaining and informative quick read.
