Karate is the most important thing in Aliyah's life. It allows her
to fight - and she's good at that. It also makes her feel like a
winner. Nothing is more important to Aliyah than taking down an
opponent, especially if it's her main rival, Suma. Things soon
change with the arrival of a new student, Zoya, who also happens to
be Suma's little sister. Aliyah sees something familiar in Zoya -
an anger and aggression that reminds Aliyah of herself. Upon the
request of Suma, and with the approval of the sensei, Aliyah agrees
to train Zoya. Through their training, she helps Zoya control her
anger but also manages to learn a valuable lesson of her own -
winning isn't everything.

Twelve-year-old Emmie is working to raise money for a tricked-out
wheelchair to get serious about WCMX (wheelchair motocross), when a
wipeout on a rickety ramp throws her plans into a tailspin. Instead
of replacing the ramp, her school provides her with a kind but
unwelcome aide - and, seeing a golden media opportunity, launches a
public fundraiser for her. Emmie loves her close-knit rural town,
but she can't shake the feeling that her goals suddenly aren't hers
anymore. With the help of her best friends, Emmie makes a plan to
get her dreams off the ground - and show her community what she
wants, what she has to give, and how ready she is to do it on her
own terms.

like him either. Dubbed the "Black Brother," Donte's teachers and
classmates make it clear they wish he were more like his lighter
skinned brother, Trey. Quiet, obedient. When an incident with
"King" Alan leads to Donte's arrest and suspension, he knows the
only way to get even is to beat the king of the school at his own
game: fencing. With the help of a former Olympic fencer, Donte
embarks on a journey to carve out a spot on Middlefield Prep's
fencing team and maybe learn something about himself along the way.

her detecting skills abroad when she becomes embroiled in a mystery
from 1990s England. Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud
stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen
Johnson. Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn't
going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her
friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case
of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to
distract her from the questions pinging around her brain-questions
about college, love, and life in general. Relief comes when David
invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and
his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In
1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country
house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in
the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax. The case was
assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven
saw something she can't explain. This was no break-in. Someone's
lying about what happened in the woodshed. Seven suspects. Two
murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.

professional footballer. Now he has a chance to achieve his dream
of playing for his country. But it's 1914 and the world is at war.
Talk of sportsmen's cowardice leads to the formation of a
Footballers' Battalion and Jack has little choice but to join up.

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. . . .
