Sophie is glad its summer because after her summerschool math class she can hang out at the local swimming pool with her best friend, Annalise. But shes scared to jump off the high diving board, and thats what everyone else wants to do, even Annalise. Maybe, Sophie thinks, she can train herself to be brave by making a list of scary things to do and doing them, one by one. If she can do a math problem on the board and ride her bike nohands, surely she can manage that jump! Short, humorous, easytoread chapters with plenty of funny illustrations tell the lively story of Sophies summer project and the surprising discoveries she makes on the way to her goal.
