Synopsis

Nine brave, wise, and spellbinding stories make up this award-winning debut. In 'When She is Old and I Am Famous' a young woman confronts the inscrutable power of her cousin's beauty. In 'Note to Sixth-Grade Self' a band of popular girls exert their social power over an awkward outcast. In 'Isabel Fish' fourteen-year-old Maddy learns to scuba dive in order to mend her family after a terrible accident. Alive with the victories, humiliations, and tragedies of youth, How to Breathe Underwater illuminates this powerful territory with striking grace and intelligence.
