Description
A Boy in the Water by Tom Gregory is a poignant and life-affirming story of a remarkable friendship between a coach and a boy. The book tells the story of a determined boy who, with the help of his coach, achieves his dream of breaking the record for a Channel swim. The story begins with the boy's early struggles in the water, but with the encouragement of his coach, he perseveres and eventually makes the historic swim from France to England. The book is a love letter to the intensity and freedom of childhood, and it's a testament to the power of friendship and determination.
