Collection of short stories by a New Zealand author with some of the stories set in New Zealand settings. An enjoyable easy read, although I felt some of the stories dragged a little.

Summary: Alex is a fifteen year old girl competing in the 1960 Olympic games in Rome. She is a swimmer on New Zealand's team. This is the fourth and final book in this series, and she finally achieves her dream.

Personal connection: I always like watching the Olympics and really loved the show Make It or Break It, which was about girls trying to make the Olympic team.

Class use: Teach the students about the history of the Olympics. Have them pick a certain event and research it.

This is the story of Alex, a fictional New Zealand swimming champion in the 1950s. Alex is on a mission to qualify for the Olympic Games in Rome. Along her journey she will fall in love and know the pain and heartache when someone dear to you dies too young. Alex faces intense competition from her swimming rival, Maggie, and her overbearing mother, but with her supportive family and much hard work and dedication she just may be able to achieve her goals. Tessa Duder has written an insightful book, a true reflection of the inner turmoil that is the teenager's lot - not to mention the pressure of one whose every success - and failure - is held up to public scrutiny. Very good read.… (mer)
