Sink or Swim
Summary
Dario Cavalito has his summer plans all mapped out: he's going to split his time between the basketball court and his Uncle Vinny's caf�, the Via Granita, off Commercial Drive in a funky Vancouver neighborhood.
His plans are derailed, however, when his mother tells him he's going to summer camp--to a water sports camp, no less. Dario can barely do the dog paddle, so he's not exactly thrilled. When he finally gets tired of playing sick and hiding in the camp's infirmary, he finds he actually kind of likes the water. As the camp's sailing regatta approaches, he fights to overcome the last of his reluctance and to win big.
Packed with action and humour, Sink or Swim is a story about a boy overcoming his fears and striving for his best performance.
