Josh Cranford loves running, soccer, cricket - anything, actually, as long as it's a sport. Most of all, he loves to win. But one person stands in his way - Shane Hunter. They clash in everything, and Shane always comes out best especially where girls are concerned. Makes it feel that way, anyhow.
Then along comes an off-the-wall new teacher and a wicked new challenge: the Energex Iron Kid Triathlon. The perfect chance to take Shane on and come out on top.
Except Josh can't swim. He never has, and vowed he never would. If he's going to enter the triathlon, he'll have to overcome his fear of water ... and take the first step to confronting a secret buried too deep in his past to think about.
Josh's decision triggers the most important six weeks of his life - and Shane Hunter isn't the only problem. Josh not only has to learn to swim; he has to learn to deal with his dad's new live-in partner, Suzanne (who can't cook, by the way). And then there's his biggest and most painful secret of all ... Buddy.
