Finding his way back to the water

A broken arm keeps twelve-year-old Ty away from swim team for a month, and returning proves harder than he expected. As summer camp brings him back into contact with friends, worry about being out of shape and failing in front of them complicates those relationships. The story connects anxiety with the practical challenge of rejoining a group after time apart, while centering self-acceptance and rebuilding confidence. Presented as a graphic novel from the world of *Just Roll With It*, it places those concerns within a summer setting shaped by swimming, camp, and friendship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young graphic-novel readers interested in stories about anxiety and confidence.
  • Readers drawn to summer-camp and friendship stories.
  • Fans of the world of *Just Roll With It*.

Book overview


Summer is here! School's out, the pool is open, and new adventures with friends await! But what happens when twelve year old Ty's anxiety has other plans? From the world of Just Roll With It comes a boy-centric graphic novel about accepting yourself even when it's a little scary.


Bouncing back from a broken arm should be no big deal--but when Ty spends a month off the swim team the thought of getting back in the water is suddenly not as fun as it used to be.

After weeks of ignoring his friends, Ty isn't sure how to connect with them again in summer camp. They used to have swim team together but after so long without swimming he's out of shape and afraid of failing in front of them. With his friendships fracturing, will Ty be able to gain confidence in himself and fix everything before it's too late?
