A splendid tale told in verse with a vigour equal to that of its heroine, one Helen Highwater champion swimmer, who embarks on her longest and most important swim ever: from Land's End to John O'Groats, 'In a swimming-pool on wheels', to raise one million pounds to save her town, Chucklewick, from being taken over by the dreaded BUMM. But does she make it ...? Essential reading-aloud for junior classes.
