Julia On The Go! Swimming Into Trouble Angela Ahn

Julia loves swimming and this year she hopes to beat her personal best time in order to increase her ranking in the junior team. However, after contracting an ear infection and then being forbidden to swim for the next ten days, it looks as though her swimming hopes are doomed. Ten days seems like an eternity and Julia doesn’t know how she is going to fill in the time. But then an idea comes to her…why not invent a waterproof cover to protect her ears and keep them dry while she swims? Despite her good intentions Julia ends up in a very sticky situation. She is going to need all the help she can get.

This is a great series opener suitable for younger primary aged readers.
