Amy’s Reviews > Aniana del Mar Jumps In > Status Update

Excellent book in creative verse that tells the story of an athletic girl with a chronic illness. To Aniana, swimming feels like joy. Her mom’s traumatic fear of water becomes an obstacle to her desire to be on the swim team but her dad lets her sneak. Suddenly, Aniana’s body swells up painfully for no clear reason. What is going on? Is this divine punishment for lying to her mom?
