Showing results for "The Baron" in Growing Up & Facts of Life

Boy Underwater is a heartbreaking story about family, friends and secrets. And it’s very, very funny. Cymbeline has never been swimming, so he’s a bit nervous at the prospect of his first school swimming lesson. But how hard could it be? He’s Googled front crawl, and he’s found his dad’s old pair of trunks. He’s totally ready for this. But he’s not ready for an accident at the pool to reveal a family mystery that turns his life completely upside down. Only Cym and his friends can solve it because, as usual, the grown-ups aren’t telling them anything....

Here’s something you won’t believe: someone is doing TERRIBLE things to Mrs Martin, Cymbeline Igloo’s favourite teacher of all time. Cymbeline has to find the culprit (after he’s learned what ‘culprit’ means). He’s also got to help his friend Veronique, whose grandma is dangerously ill. It seems Nanai has a secret, connected to her arrival in the UK as a Boat Person from Vietnam, a traumatic journey in which she lost her twin sister.

Oscar is a little terrified to find that a lion is going to be looking after him for the weekend.

Soon, Oscar discovers that the lion can change into different animals and the pair find themselves having all kinds of adventures! But before the lion has to go, might he have one more amazing transformation up his sleeve?

Cymbeline Igloo (yes, really!) has never been swimming. Not ever. Not once. But how hard can it be? He’s Googled front crawl, and he’s found his dad’s old pair of trunks. He’s totally ready. What he’s not ready for is the accident at the pool - or how it leads his mum to a sudden breakdown.

Was geschah damals wirklich, als die beiden jungen Frauen per Boot aus Vietnam geflohen sind? Und kann Cym Veronique und Nanai helfen?
