Diary of a Super Swimmer

By Shamini Flint

In illustrated diary format, the hilarious tale of a boy who is a stellar swimmer--not! Swimming is just like flying, son! I can't fly either, Dad. You'll love swimming, Marcus! Marcus is a math whiz who is not good at sports. But his dad, a self-help author, is convinced otherwise. Just when Marcus hopes his dad had finally run out of sports for him to try, he discovers a new one--in water. Let's get a few things straight: Marcus is not a fish. Marcus is not a turtle. Marcus is an ordinary boy. He will not love to swim!

Good condition if you like something like “baby vomit” (as my kids called it) covering 1/4 of the bo

I think the book itself is probably good. Good enough that I purchased it new on Amazon after receiving this copy. It was marked as “good used” condition. But it literally has a greasy substance that covers 1/4 of the cover and pages of the book. That substance was not on the outside of the package nor on the other books that I ordered that were packaged with this book. I don’t want a refund, but I will not be ordering a used book again from this site if this is considered acceptable. Lesson learned.
