Otis has to lose a few pounds and Walter is trying to earn a gold star in reading, his worst subject. It’s going to be harder than they thought. When they volunteer to help Grandpa Walt coach the Special Olympics, a girl named Anna shows them—and the rest of the Never Sink Nine—what it really takes to be a winner. |
