Title: Girl out of Water
Author: Nat Luurtsema
Publishers: Walker Books
Girl out of Water is about Louise Brown, a 15 year old who is talented at swimming - but when she gets a chance of doing her dream, her friend Hannah excels while Lou flops. Lou hates change and at school she is lonely and quiet. Soon she realises that she has no friends and spends her lunchtimes in the library and weekends alone at home.
All this changes when Gabriel, Pete and Roman asks Louise to train them for Britain's Hidden Talent, where they were sent home for dancing. Lou has no idea what to do but with realising she had no proper friends, she grabs this chance.
Lou is relatable and funny. I recommend this book for ages 12+
