A powerful novel in verse.” —Lisa Fipps, author of Printz Honor book Starfish A middle grade novel in verse that “packs a powerful punch” (Kirkus Reviews) from acclaimed author Jamie Sumner that spans one girl’s marathon swim over twelve miles and six hours, calling her mom back home with every stroke. Six hours. One marathon swim. That’s all Tully Birch needs to get her life straightened out.

Eleven-year-old Lenny Syms is about to start college--sort of. As part of a brand-new experimental school, Lenny and four other students are starting sixth grade on a university campus, where they'll be taught by the most brilliant professors and given every resource imaginable.
