Shelley is angry about having to tag along with her mum, who works in a
hostel for children with intellectual disabilities. Why can’t she stay home
or with one of her girlfriends? Even the promise of the indoor pool is ruined
by the presence of Ben, who watches from a safe distance and can’t even
say her name properly.
Gradually Shelley moves from self-absorption to helping Ben overcome his
terrible fear of water and teaching him to swim. An engaging story about
trust, overcoming prejudice and seeing beyond yourself.
This re-jacketed edition brings to a new audience Robin Klein’s classic
novel about an unlikely friendship between a young girl and a boy with an
intellectual disability.
