    About this ebook

    Ask your whole class if they like getting new students. Half of them will say “yes.” Now ask them if they would like a kid with fake legs to be the new student in their class. That question will keep them thinking.
    Molly Anderson and her best friend Miles Smith aren’t your average pair of friends. For one thing, Miles doesn’t have any legs, and Molly has really annoying brothers! (Well, that’s normal for some people) Miles had his legs amputated as a young child, but when he meets Molly, she helps him to find his destiny and passion for swimming. Through annoying cousins, nasty bullies, and competitive swim meets, Miles and Molly are swimming to success!
