Putney has to learn the butterfly stroke quick!

Fortunately for her, she has a magic eyePad and a magical hi-tech hummingbird robot to help.

Unfortunately, arch-rival Sue Wexford keeps popping up around the condo complex along with another snoop–a professor from MIT who is hot on the trail of the mysterious hi-tech hummingbird robot.

When Putney captures a surprising flight photo of her newly emerged monarch butterfly, she finally understands how the butterfly stroke got its name. Can a butterfly teach her what her swim coach couldn't? Will it be enough?

Can magical mentor, Sam, and the magical hummingbird robot help fix Putney's butterfly stroke in time for the swim meet, where she'll have to face her former best friend for the first time since the move from Alaska? Will Putney find a way to mend that friendship?

Or will the super snoop Professor from MIT uncover Putney's secret and ruin everything?
