Swim the Fly by Don Calame

Matt Gratton and his two best friends, Sean and Coop, always set themselves a summer-time goal. This yeara (TM)s? To see a real-live naked girl for the first time. As far as Matt is concerned, theya (TM)d have better luck finding the lost city of Atlantis. But seeing a girl in the buff starts to seem like childa (TM)s play compared to the other summertime goal Matt sets for himself: to swim the 100-yard butterfly (the hardest stroke known to God or man) in order to impress Kelly West, the hot new girl. So what if he cana (TM)t manage a single lap, let alone four? Hea (TM)s got the whole summer to perfect his technique. What could possibly go wrong?

Calame, Don: - Don Calame is the author of the young adult novels Swim the Fly, Beat the Band, and Dan Versus Nature. He is also an accomplished screenwriter who has worked with Marvel Studios, the Disney Channel, Lionsgate, Universal Studios, and Paramount Pictures. About Call the Shots, he says, After having written a story from both Matt's and Coop's perspectives, there was no way I could leave poor, gullible, clueless Sean out of the fun. The challenge was, of course, coming up with a story that was uniquely his. I wracked my brain for months until the low-budget movie idea came to me. When I was in college, I worked on one of my professor's independent films, and it was such a nightmare experience--filled with so many pitfalls and problems--that I knew it was the perfect setting to thrust an unsuspecting Sean into. I'm really excited about this book and I think it's the perfect cap to the series. Don Calame was born in New York and now lives in Ontario with his wife and their dog, Scooter.
