Eleven-year-old Riley Liston is the youngest kid at Camp Olympia. Spooked by talk of a snapping turtle that eats campers, he also feels inadequate as his cabin competes for the summer's sports trophy. Riley gradually gains confidence when he realizes his water skills can help his group win. The story boasts memorable characters, fast sports action, and an upbeat finish.
