Aimed at 10-14 year olds this is a wonderful story of Fig, given name Lemony, teenage daughter of fiercely controlling QC mother Mubla and gentle but ineffective embalmer father Dab Dabs. Every year Fig's mum sets a resolution and expects Fig to achieve it, this year Fig has had enough and sets her own to swim the world. She can't actually swim but that is a minor hiccup compared to working out travel arrangements and finances. With the support of her best friend, she meets a delightful older woman who helps her learn to swim and encourages her to achieve her dream. The book then follows Fig's adventures, the story moves along well and the characters are well written, there are realistic scenes of Fig being scared and using social media to connect to her friends. It also reminded me how wonderful swimming can be and helped me imagine wild open water swimming which is all the rage now.
