"One Wet Summer" by Ann Montclair
Book Teaser:The little girl stuck her tongue out at him and flipped away like a dolphin, swimming with sure strokes to the shallow end. Maura swam in her wake and met her at the pool stairs.
“You should say thank you to the lifeguard,” she said, as the little girl’s pink, sparkly, swimsuited bottom flounced up the steps in front of her. “He was trying to help, you know.”
“Oh, you’d think he’d have figured it out by now. I play that game nearly every day. It’s fun to float and hold my breath as long as possible. I don’t know why it freaks everyone out.” She sounded dramatically exasperated and Maura couldn’t help but laugh at the child’s adult tone.
The little girl smiled up into Maura’s face, and continued. “You swim fast, lady. No one has ever beat Fred before.”
“So, you pull this trick often, eh?” Maura tried not to sound too impressed. “I bet only the new guests give you that satisfying scream, huh?”
“Yep,” the little girl agreed, twisting her long dark hair around one of her dimpled fingers. ~ within Chapter 1
