Swim the Fly
Swim the Fly | Don Calame
10 posts | 13 read | 7 to read
Fifteen-year-old Matt Gratton and his two best friends always set themselves a summertime goal. This year's? To see a real-live naked girl for the first timequite a challenge, given that none of the guys has the nerve to even ask a girl on a date. But that goal starts to look easy compared to Matt's other aspiration: swimming the 100-yard butterfly (the hardest stroke known to God or man) to impress the sizzling new star of the swim team. In the spirit of Hollywoods blockbuster comedies, screenwriter Don Calame unleashes a true ode to the adolescent male: side-splittingly funny, sometimes crude, yet always full of heart.

When I first got the book I thought that it was going to be a really good book and it was for the most part, until near the end when the whole idea of the book was thrown away and then it kind of left me mad that I didn‘t know if they achieved their goal or not.

I laughed so hard while reading this in my classroom during silent reading that I covered my face and silently shook. One of the boys piped up, "Mrs. Grillo, are you okay?" This allowed me to laugh out loud and explain. #laughoutloud #awesomeautumnbooks @Jess7

Set up my classroom today. This is part of my class library. I love the gutters I nailed up to hold books. Swim the Fly is a popular book...I think I'm on my fourth copy. They keep disappearing.

Alisnazzy The gutter shelves are pure genius!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 8y
