Description
Summer is here! School's out, the pool is open, and new adventures with friends await! But what happens when twelve year old Ty's anxiety has other plans? From the world of Just Roll With It comes a boy-centric graphic novel about accepting yourself even when it's a little scary. Bouncing back from a broken arm should be no big deal--but when Ty spends a month off the swim team the thought of getting back in the water is suddenly not as fun as it used to be. After weeks of ignoring his friends, Ty isn't sure how to connect with them again in summer camp. They used to have swim team together but after so long without swimming he's out of shape and afraid of failing in front of them. With his friendships fracturing, will Ty be able to gain confidence in himself and fix everything before it's too late?

Reviews
"Earnest summertime adventures and lessons on self-love." --Kirkus Reviews "Charming and inclusive....Librarians hoping to fill out their middle-grade camp collections with a uniquely tender LGBTQIA+ story for their readers to dive into this summer should look no further." --The Bulletin "A poignant coming-of-age story....This graphic novel about anxiety, body image, and queerness is a recommended purchase for middle school library shelves." --School Library Journal "Easy-to-follow panel art in subdued hues helps set the summer-camp scene, reflecting challenges that are cooperative both physically and emotionally along with individual growth and acceptance." --The Horn Book
