Filled with footy, fun and friendship, it's an hilarious story
perfect for young football fans. Noah longs to be a professional

school team for something he didn't do, all his dreams are in
doubt. Determined to live up to his Mighty Dynamo nickname, Noah
must find his own way to enter the contest - no matter what it
takes! With best friend Stevie on tactics, and the skills of some
unlikely new teammates, he's soon ready to take on the world - just
as long as no one plays foul . . .

Over one million copies sold! Sylvester loves baseball, but he
isn't exactly what you'd call a good hitter. Even though he wants
nothing more than to join his neighborhood team, the Hooper
Redbirds, he's sure he'll never do anything more than warm the
bench. But then he meets the mysterious Mr. Baruth who promises to
make Sylvester one of the best players ever. Suddenly Sylvester
goes from the worst player on the team to the kid who can only hit
homers. With his overnight success, however, come tough questions.
Will Sylvester ever learn the true meaning of teamwork? And what
will happen when he has to learn to stand on his own? This beloved
story about baseball, confidence, perseverance and being a good
teammate is a modern classic for any young sports fan.

"Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is
such a good cartoonist I almost can't stand it." --Raina
Telgemeier, author of Smile In Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is
fit in--but that's not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her
friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send
them to the best summer camps. Vera's single mother can't afford
that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price
range--Russian summer camp. Vera is sure she's found the one place
she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing
could prepare her for all the "cool girl" drama, endless Russian
history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!

The boys of Kings Row bout with drama, rivalry, and romance in this
original YA novel by The New York Times bestselling author Sarah
Rees Brennan--inspired by the award-nominated comic series by C.S.
Pacat and Johanna The Mad. Sixteen-year-old Nicholas Cox is the
illegitimate son of a retired fencing champion who dreams of
getting the proper training he could never afford. After earning a
place on the elite Kings Row fencing team, Nicholas must prove
himself to his rival, Seiji Katayma, and navigate the clashes,
friendships, and relationships between his teammates on the road to
state championships--where Nicholas might finally have the chance
to spar with his golden-boy half-brother. Coach Williams decides to
take advantage of the boys' morale after a recent victory and
assigns them a course of team building exercises to further deepen
their bonds. It takes a shoplifting scandal, a couple of moonlit
forest strolls, several hilariously bad dates, and a whole lot of
introspection for the team to realize they are stronger together
than they could ever be apart. The first installment of this
enticing original YA novel series by Sarah Rees Brennan, rich with
casual diversity and queer self-discovery, explores
never-before-seen drama inspired by C.S. Pacat's critically
acclaimed Fence comic series and boasts original cover and interior
art by Johanna The Mad. Text and Illustration copyright: © 2020
