About the Book

It's off to summer camp for Grant! Nestled in the woods along a northern Minnesota lake, Coach Johnson plans a Camp Olympics and chooses team captains. Grant becomes anxious and fearful as he wonders what team he'll be chosen for. "He was dreading the moment when no one else was left to pick except him." What Olympic event will he have to participate in and will he let his teammates down? "He hung his head and pondered how he could avoid the embarrassment of having to participate and letting his teammates down." Will Grant be able to overcome his fears and help his team succeed in bringing home the gold in the camp Olympics? "He jettisoned through the water like a torpedo as he kicked toward the finish line." Enter the world of "The Waterslide" to find out! This book is an inspiring story about a boy who, with the help of his Dad, learns to overcome his fears and experience the joy of finding his true gifts. It also teaches children about the importance of paying it forward and giving back to their community. Ten percent of author proceeds from the sale of "The Waterslide" will be donated to the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program. Your purchase of this book will help make a difference!
