review:
'Swim Team' with story and art by Johnnie Christmas is a graphic novel about a young girl overcoming one of her greatest fears.

When Bree and her father move to Florida, it means a new school and new people to meet. Bree can't swim, but when she has to sign up for swimming as the only elective available, it opens a new world to her including a chance to learn about the history of swimming and segregation.

This was a wonderful story on so many levels. Bree overcoming her inner voices, the Swim sisters (old and young), and the thrill of competing all combine to make a heartwarming story with great art.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from HarperCollins Children's Books and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
