The Teamwork Toolkit (an Outsmart Secrets Book) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969596049)

Olivia Walker's raft didn't just lose last year's race. It sank in front of the entire town before reaching the starting line.

Now she's got one shot at redemption, but there's a problem: building a winning raft takes skills her crew is still learning, practice time they're running out of, and help from people who remember last year's humiliation.

The only way forward? Convince a town full of skeptics to give four kids another chance.

When their preparation hits unexpected obstacles and their biggest rival starts sabotaging every move, Olivia realizes they're approaching everything wrong. With guidance from Mr. Reed, a wise mentor who's navigated far tougher challenges around the world, she discovers the secret to getting what you want: help others get what they need first.

But with the race approaching fast, a leaking barrel that could sink their chances, and a former enemy who might be their only hope, Olivia must master the most important skill of all. It's not about having the best raft or the loudest voice. It's about understanding what really moves people.
