Sobre IBD

Robert McCutcheon continues the Flipturn Series with his second book, ’The False Start’. Teddy faces continuing conflict with his inner self and the outside world. Sometimes life is full of stops and starts and lines you wonder if you should cross, and Teddy’s life seems to be filled with these things right now. Billy surprises Teddy with a trip to a hidden local swimming hole, and Teddy is amazed at what he finds there. His relationship with Cindy moves to the next level, and he has an unexpected encounter with a strange girl who he decides is pretty. Teddy has banned himself from swimming for now because of his shoulder injury, but he is still cheering for his team. Find out what happens when his brothers face Progar a second time in the relay re-match, and find out if Billy redeems himself and whether the team wins the swim meet. Robert McCutcheon, Phd, has degrees in English from Duke, Oxford and Stanford and teaches at Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia where he can be found most days at noon in the pool. This book is also available in a hardcover edition with a dust jacket.
