GOLDFISH, by Nat Luurtsema

The story: When Lou misses out on her chance to train as an Olympic swimmer, she feels that life as she knows it is about to end (and she's right). What she never saw coming was the chance to coach a boys' synchronized swimming team starring three of the hottest guys at her school. She also never foresaw that she'd be breaking into an aquarium, busting her friend out of training camp, or ending up swimming on the guys' team herself. Or making up friends. Or getting a boyfriend. Stuff like that just sneaks up on you sometimes.

June Cleaver's ratings: Langauge PG; Violence G; Sexual content PG; Nudity PG; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes PG; overall rating PG.

Liz's comments: This laugh-out-loud story not only has some hilarious moments, but Lou really grows as a character, learning that things generally aren't as bad as they seem, and that good luck can come in strange packages. I just wish I could actually watch the YouTube video of those guys doing their routine!
