Learning to Fall (Ages 8–12)

Nine-year-old Henry Parker loves everything about his swim club—except the high dive. When the summer championship requires a dive from the terrifying top board, Henry does something he's never done before: he lies. With his older brother far away at boarding school and no one to help him through his fear, Henry pretends to be injured. But when his fake injury starts making things worse instead of better, Henry must decide if hiding from his fears is really easier than facing them.
