#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.
A shy but talented footballer navigates challenging friendships and
anxiety at school in this touching tale from acclaimed author Eve
Ainsworth. Lily always feels a little bit le ft out. Shy and
anxious, she finds school really hard, particularly as most of the
other girls all seem so confident. Most of the time, Lily wishes
that she could just disappear. But during a game of football in PE,
Lily's teacher spots her natural talent and invites Lily to join
the local girls' team, where she starts to make friends with some
of the other players. Finally, she thinks she's found a place where
she fits in, but will a vicious argument with one of her teammates
put all her progress in jeopardy?
