Swim the Fly

by Don Calame
PRMS paperback 345 pages
genre: YA realistic fiction, humor

Oh my! This is such a boy book! This will be a great one to recommend to the kids who liked The Downside of Being Up. It's definitely a more challenging read, but it made me laugh out loud and I think some of my readers will appreciate the gross, awkward humor. Three friends set a goal each summer and this year, they plan to see a real-live naked girl. But how will that happen when they are unpopular geeks on the swim team? I'm not sure how I'll book-talk this one effectively (and it does have a fair amount of swearing) but chapter twelve (page 80) is laugh out loud funny . . . the boys have dressed up as girls and are in the girls locker room . . .
