Gr 2—4—Fourth grade inventor Scab McNally is afraid of a number of things, including deep water. Unfortunately, if he wants to go on a fishing trip with his uncle, he has to pass the next level swim class which includes the deep end of the pool. Throw in squirrel swim trunks, a fake toe, a possible dinosaur sighting, and a "smart times ten" twin sister, and kids will enjoy this fun romp (Aladdin, 2010) by Trudi Trueit. The ending is reasonably satisfying for characters and listeners alike. Oliver Wyman expressively narrates this adventure, making for a fun listen.—Laura Davies, Kenton County Public Library, KY
