Out of Synch

Thirteen-year-old Katie Phillips dreams of reaching the U.S. Synchronized Swimming National Championships. But her sports-obsessed father wants her to quit the team to focus on swimming races-real swimming as he puts it-to earn a college scholarship like her narcissistic older brother Nick a Florida state record holder. When Katies duo partner is seriously injured in a freak accident during practice her determination to overcome her familys lack of support is put to the test as her life unravels around her. Shes on the verge of failing math class and her tough-as-nails swim coach is pushing her hard to qualify for states in the 200 freestyle. Then theres the boy she cant stop thinking about. And through it all she wonders just what her muscle-bound brother is trying to hide about his record-setting performance two years earlier . . . .
