I would give this book a 5 star rating because I love how in this picture book there is mini chapters. Also I love how in each mini chapter there is a new story about John, Gramps, and Grams!

"Swim Team" by Johnnie Christmas is a graphic novel about a girl named Bree who just moved to Florida. Bree is very thrilled for the first day at her new school, Enith Brigitha Middle School, but joined the only elective that fits her schedule, Swim 101. She detests swimming and even worse, everyone else can swim except her. She hates that she can't swim, and her neighbor, Ms. Etta, begins to give her swimming lessons. Surprisingly, she makes the team and she gets better each day. See what consequences she faces. Overall, this book is fun and an easy read. I didn't like graphic novels, but "Swim Team" changed my mind.

I really enjoyed this book because I love boba. There was an element of horror and funny scenes too. The main character helped her grandmother overcome a fear of the underground demon.

it was good and bad at the same time. I have read the book with no pictures so when I read the book that has pictures it is kind of weird to me because I imagine the characters a LOT differently. Overall though the book was fine the

I liked this book because it had humor, suspense and the character made manny mistakes which I feel like everyone can relate to.

Swim Team by Johnnie Christmas is a graphic novel. It is about the main character, Bree, facing her fears of swimming. At first, Bree didn't even like pools and swimming. However, she starts to practice swimming after she gets into a swimming elective in school. Bree eventually joins the swim team and to the amazement of others, faces her fears. During her time in the swim team, Bree faces many difficulties from not being able to swim to fighting with teammates. But she eventually figures things out. I think that this book was a good book and was very easy to understand.
