#1 New York Times Bestseller From the mind of basketball legend and
Academy Award-winning storyteller Kobe Bryant comes a new tale of
finding your inner magic against all odds. GAME. SET. MAGIC. Game -
Tennis means life and death for the residents of the magical
kingdom of Nova, and for twelve-year-old Legacy, it's the only
thing getting her through the long days taking care of the other
kids at the orphanage. That's all about to change when she hears
about Silla's tournament. Set - Silla, the ruler of Nova, hosts an
annual tournament for the less fortunate of her citizens to come
and prove themselves and win entrance to the Academy, where they
can train to compete at nationals. The prize is Silla's favor and
enough cash to keep open the orphanage, and Legacy has her heart
set on both. Magic - What Legacy has yet to know is that the other
players have something besides better skills and more money than
she does. In Nova, tennis can unlock magic. Magic that Silla used
to save the kingdom long ago and magic that her competitors have
been training in for months already. Now, with the world turned
against her and the orphanage at stake, Legacy has to learn to use
her passion for the game to rise above those around her and shine.

"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
