Survining High School by M. Doty -- Emily Kessler thinks she has it all figured out. She eats, sleeps, and trains for competitive swimming. All she has to do is keep her grades high and swim times short -- short enough to live up to her sister Sara's.

Maybe there is more to life than studying and swimming. Maybe the secret to surviving high school is just to have a little fun.
