From Julie Murphy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Dumplin', comes a hilarious and creepy middle grade summer camp
story that takes a bite out of fat camp and diet culture. Perfect
for fans of Spooky Stories and Starfish. Magnolia "Maggie" Hagen is
determined to be in the spotlight . . . if she can just get over
her stage fright. This summer, though, she has big plans to finally
attend Camp Rising Star, the famous performing arts camp she's been
dying to go to for three whole summers. But on the last day of
school, her parents break the news: Maggie isn't going to Camp
Rising Star. She's being shipped off to fat camp-and not just any
fat camp. She's going to Camp Sylvania, run by world-famous
wellness influencer Sylvia Sylvania, who is known for her
soon-to-be-patented Scarlet Diet. When Maggie arrives at camp,
things are . . . weird. There are the humiliating weigh-ins and
grueling workouts, as expected. But the campers are also encouraged
to donate blood-at their age! The cafeteria serves only red foods
and the oddly specific rules change every day. There are even
rumors of a camp ghost. Despite these horrors, Maggie makes friends
and starts to actually enjoy herself. There are even tryouts for a
camp production of The Music Man! This place might not be so bad .
. . until campers start going missing and other suspicious things
begin happening-especially after dark. The camp ghost might be the
least scary thing about this place. . . .
A companion to the Newbery Medal-winning middle grade novel The
Crossover, the basis of the show streaming on Disney+! What can we
imagine for our lives? What if we were the star players, moving and
grooving through the game of life? What if we had our own rules of
the game to help us get what we want, what we aspire to, what will
enrich our lives? Illustrated with photographs by Thai Neave, The
Playbook is intended to provide inspiration on the court of life.
Each rule contains wisdom from inspiring athletes and role models
such as Nelson Mandela, Serena Williams, LeBron James, Carli Lloyd,
Steph Curry, and Michelle Obama. Kwame Alexander also shares his
own stories of overcoming obstacles and winning games in this
motivational and inspirational book for readers of any age and for
anyone needing a little bit of encouragement. You gotta know the
rules to play the game. Ball is life. Take it to the hoop. Soar.
Each title in this series explores movements in different imaginary
settings and exercises every part of a child's body. Expressive
movements encourage role play, discussion of feelings and
reflection on the natural world.

One year after a random shooting changed their family forever, Nora
and her father are exploring a slot canyon deep in the Arizona
desert, hoping it will help them find peace. Nora longs for things
to go back to normal, like they were when her mother was still
alive, while her father keeps them isolated in fear of other
people. But when they reach the bottom of the canyon, the
unthinkable happens: A flash flood rips across their path, sweeping
away Nora's father and all of their supplies. Suddenly, Nora finds
herself lost and alone in the desert, facing dehydration, venomous
scorpions, deadly snakes, and, worst of all, the Beast who has
terrorized her dreams for the past year. If Nora is going to save
herself and her father, she must conquer her fears, defeat the
Beast, and find the courage to live her new life.
