Gabriel Picolo, the creative duo behind the New York Times, USA
Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller Teen Titans: Raven, take
you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, while reminding
us the value of true friendship--especially when life gets wild.
Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked. Even in
a small town like Eden, Georgia, the seventeen-year-old with green
streaks in his hair can't find a way to stand out--and the clock is
ticking. Senior year is almost over. If Gar doesn't find a way to
impress the social elite at Bull Creek High School, he will never
know what it's like to matter. Gar's best friends, Stella and Tank,
can't understand why he cares what other people think, and they
miss their funny, pizza-loving, video game-obsessed best friend.
Then Gar accepts a wild dare out of the blue. It impresses the
popular kids, and his social status soars. But other things are
changing, too. Gar grows six inches overnight. His voice drops, and
suddenly, he's stronger and faster. He's finally getting everything
he wanted, but his newfound popularity comes at a price. Gar has to
work harder to impress his new friends. The dares keep getting
bigger, and the stakes keep getting higher. When Gar realizes the
extent of his physical changes, he has to dig deep and face the
truth about himself--and the people who truly matter--before his
life spirals out of control.

"Combines wonderful characters and history to create a story that
will make you want to dive right in!" JERRY CRAFT, author of the
Newbery Medal-winning New Kid A splashy, contemporary middle grade
graphic novel from bestselling comics creator Johnnie Christmas!
Bree can't wait for her first day at her new middle school, Enith
Brigitha, home to the Mighty Manatees-until she's stuck with the
only elective that fits her schedule, the dreaded Swim 101. The
thought of swimming makes Bree more than a little queasy, yet she's
forced to dive headfirst into one of her greatest fears. Lucky for
her, Etta, an elderly occupant of her apartment building and former
swim team captain, is willing to help. With Etta's training and a
lot of hard work, Bree suddenly finds her swim-crazed community
counting on her to turn the school's failing team around. But
that's easier said than done, especially when their rival, the
prestigious Holyoke Prep, has everything they need to leave the
Mighty Manatees in their wake. Can Bree defy the odds and guide her
team to a state championship, or have the Manatees swum their last
lap-for good? Praise for SWIM TEAM: Harvey Award Best Children's or
