Tumi is at that awkward adolescent teenage stage. Where you are no longer a child, yet not adult.
He is overcoming upsetting events in his past whilst navigating his way through school. Working hard with the aim of becoming captain of the school swim team.
Trying to fit in with peers but holding them at arms length only giving them the access to.the parts of his life he wants them to see.
Then his brother (who is also Tumi's care taker and father figure) has to leave town for work.
Meaning Tumi has to go to stay at his grandmothers with his young niece.
Leaving at such an important time may ruin his chance's of making captain of the swim team and going to holiday school in order to get the grades he needs.
What does that mean for swim team and his education?
I tried to avoid spoilers.
This was an enjoyable read. Reminding me that nothing on this earth could make me.go back to school and teenage years: The pressure, expectations, stress and not to mention hormones running rabid. No thank you!
