"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
Young Adult Book Nominee "A revelation! You'll root for Swim
Team-the water is just right." -JOHN JENNINGS, New York Times
bestselling and Eisner Award-winning creator "Swim Team is a
beautiful story about trying new things. Johnnie Christmas is a
fantastic storyteller and artist." -KAZU KIBUISHI, author of Amulet
"Full of charm, heart, and pulse-pounding races. A winner!" -GENE
LUEN YANG, author of American Born Chinese and Dragon Hoops
Guns, violence, mob rule, or defending the cause? We all have
choices. Or do we? Who would choose blood, sacrifice, and exile? At
the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland Ian's dad did. In
this real-life thriller, 14-year-old Ian Moore walks a tightrope of
fear as two strangers reveal the shocking truth about his father.
His father thought he was fighting for a cause, for his people. But
the price was too high--after the murder of his sister's husband
and his own wife's death, he's paying for trying to get out.
Somewhere along the line the cause got blurred by organized crime
and revenge, and all it's left is a bitter taste. He's still a
target, still a victim. Now he faces a lifetime of running with
nowhere to go and constantly putting at rish the son he loves. This
page turner tackes a controversial topic head-on and makes for
powerful and memorable reading.
Grace loves the sport of ice hockey. Out on the ice, no one can
touch her speed. But she can't shoot, and her frustration tempts
her to quit the team. With help from her teammate Myles, Grace
strengthens her skills. Then she leans on his encouragement when an
injury takes him out of a playoff game and requires Grace to be the
team hero.
From the writing team of Ian Wright and Musa Okwonga. Inspired by
the story of the superstar striker, Ian Wright. CO-WINNER OF THE

most skilful ones. They are the ones who never give up." Perfect
for fans of real-life drama Readers will love Ian Wright's cameo
role in the story With phenomenal cover art from Benjamin Wachenje.

community, is based on Ian Wright's own childhood experiences and

story that encourages you to dream big and overcome life's
challenges." Trent Alexander-Arnold Ian Wright is one of the UK's
