Sink or Swim (From the Files of Madison Finn, 13)

Everyone seems to have summer plans except Madison. None of her choices seem to be the right fit. So when the opportunity to babysit for a nearby family presents itself, Maddie surprises herself by jumping at the chance. Watching a two-and-a-half-year-old shouldn’t be that hard—especially when their activities include going to the pool where her friends are junior lifeguards. But soon the job takes Maddie away from her friends and her summer fun, and, worst of all, the little boy doesn’t seem to like her. This may be the worst summer ever. Madison needs to find a way to bond with her babysitting charge—and fast!
