Magic Olive Poindexter has big shoes to fill. Her mother was a
professional cheerleader, her father is a retired NBA legend, her
big sister is the new face of the oh-so-glamorous Laker Girls, and
her grandmother was the first black cheerleader ever on Valentine
Middle School's HoneyBee cheer squad. Magic wants nothing more than
to follow in their footsteps. But first, she has to survive Planet
Pom Poms, the summer cheer camp where she'll audition for a spot on
the HoneyBee squad. But with zero athletic ability and a group of
mean girls who have her number, Tragic Magic is a long way from
becoming the toe-touching cheerleader heroine she dreams of being.
Things start to look up when her best friend Cappie joins her at
camp--until Cappie gets bitten by the popularity bug, that is. To
make matters worse, Magic's crushing hard on football star Dallas
Chase. Luckily, Magic's not alone: with the help of a new crew of
fabulous fellow misfits and her Grammy Mae's vintage pom poms by
her side, Tragic Magic might just survive--and even thrive--at
cheer camp.

twelve-year-old "Addie Earhart" shares her adventures flying an
ultralight plane over the desert. While watching this daring girl

in the extreme summer desert heat. With no one to turn to for help
and armed with only a hand-drawn map and a stolen cell phone, it's
up to Jolene to find a way to save the Desert Aviator. Packed with

New boy Smithy can't understand why everyone is so excited about a
player on the football team called "Bengo." He's been absent for
the first few games of the season and starts the next game on the
bench, so surely he can't be that special? But when their coach
pulls Smithy off and sends Bengo on in his place, Smithy gets a
chance to see him in action. Bengo is easily the best player
Smithy's ever seen, putting in perfect crosses and generally
running the opposition ragged. So why is Bengo left on the bench so
often, and why does he seem to bottle it when any strong tackles
come his way? An engaging football story accompanied by fascinating
facts about famous substitutes, from reluctant-reader favourite
Alan Gibbons.

Magazine pick Reggie has never felt destined for greatness. He
dreams about basketball brilliance all day and night, but the hard
truth is that he's a benchwarmer for the West Bottom Badgers, the
worst team in the league. Even their mysterious new coach, Rolabi
Wizenard, can't seem to help them end their losing streak. Reggie
is willing to train tirelessly to improve his game, but the gym
itself seems to be working against him in magical ways. Before
Reggie can become the player he dreams of being, he must survive
the extraordinary trials of practice. Basketball legend Kobe Bryant
presents this illuminating follow-up to the #1 New York Times
bestseller The Wizenard Series: Training Camp-a story of strain and
sacrifice, supernatural breakthroughs, and supreme dedication to
the game.
It's the hottest, stickiest day of the summer. A fat-sun-in-the-sky
day. An eating-ice-pops-on-the-porch day. And for Kishi and Ren e,
it's a best-friends-breakup day. Each girl sits on her own front
porch, waiting for the other to apologize, even though they know
they'll never speak to each other again, no matter how bored they
get. But then the sounds of feet slapping the pavement and voices
chanting double-dutch rhymes drift up the avenue, and neither one
can resist going out in the street to play. This lyrical friendship
story, the first collaboration of two outstanding artists, pairs a
rhythmic text with distinctive collage illustrations. Its subtle
message about sharing and forgiveness will resonate with anyone who
has ever experienced the ups and downs of being, and having, a best
friend.
