Everything about him irritates her, from his stupid handsome face to the way he holds his paddle.

Last year's race was a catastrophe, but this year's race just might change her life in ways she never imagined.</p><p></p><p>With an unforgettable heroine and an immersive setting, Holly Green's captivating debut promises heart-stopping action and a swoony romance that will leave you cheering.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for In the Same Boat: </b></p><p>* This must-have adventure will have teens at the edge of their seats. -- <i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review</p><p></p><p>An incredibly vivid, fast-paced adventure full of heart.
