- Synopsis
- With one word, Tess&’s world could be completely undone: Epilepsy.Tess lives for swimming: the feel of the pool's rough edge on her toes, the snap of cold water on her skin, and the push of her limbs ever forward. In the water, she&’s truly alive. Until tragedy strikes. And Tess is left navigating a summer of doctor visits, missed swim practices, a newly distant best friend, and a job stuck behind a counter—not sitting high in the lifeguard chair like every season before.Instead, her spot goes to new guy Charlie. Although his messy hair and laid-back demeanor catch Tess&’s attention, this isn&’t really the time. She&’s got to focus on getting back in the pool—and on getting back to herself.Lyrically and sensitively written, Breathing Underwater is a slice-of-life story with depth, exploring topics like epilepsy, inclusivity in student athletics, changing friendships, and the power of love and community. With warmth and wit, Abbey Lee Nash has crafted a moving portrait of a teen girl&’s journey to self-acceptance and life on her own terms.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
