School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 Gr 3–7—In this latest book in the "Nat Enough" series, readers find the awkward heroine moving into a new phase in life. When her best friend Zoe quits the volleyball team and wants Natalie to join her on the school's triathlon squad, Nat is extremely hesitant as she lacks confidence in any strenuous physical sports. She regularly gets picked last for team games in gym class and is known for her clumsiness. With the help of Coach Rennie, and the support of her friends and family, Natalie will learn that swimming, biking, and running are more than just sports. They are a way to gain self-confidence, learn how to overcome obstacles, and not allow fear and doubt to deter you from doing anything. Readers will find characters and situations to relate to, which might just make coping with the trials of middle school more attainable. VERDICT Readers will continue to delight in this series, which excels at communicating positive lessons with humor. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
