From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a
Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and
friendship. When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it's mainly to
support her friend and secret love interest, Leo. After all, she
knows who she is already: avid photographer, injury-prone tree
climber, best friend to Leo and Connie. When the DNA service
reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star
Savannah Tully, it's hard to believe they're from the same planet,
never mind the same parents - especially considering Savannah,
queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby
herself. The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp
(obviously) and figure out why Abby's parents gave Savvy up for
adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid
rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp's co-chef, putting
Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a
secret that threatens to unravel everything. But part of life is
showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces
together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the
best ones. 'A YA contemporary set at summer camp? Count us in.' -

on love in all its forms.' - Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly

Major League Baseball's Opening Day, 1951. Nineteen-year-old Mickey
Mantle puts on the New York Yankees' famous white pinstriped
uniform. His stomach roils. Sweat beads his brow. Today is his
first major league game in front of a near-capacity crowd at Yankee
Stadium, and there is one man Mickey doesn't want to disappoint
above all others: his father. "Mickey Mantle: Rookie in Pinstripes"
is the uplifting true story of how a painfully shy teenager from
rural Commerce, Oklahoma, became one of the biggest stars in Major
League Baseball. While he looked to Joe DiMaggio for inspiration
and dreamed of someday playing with that great New York Yankee,
Mickey's true hero was his dad. Raised during the Depression,
Mickey learned how to catch, hit, and field the ball from his
father, Elvin. In high school, Mickey suffered a football injury
that revealed a serious bone disorder. He wondered if he would ever
play baseball again. But with the support and love of his father,
he overcame his affliction and signed with the New York Yankees in
1949. A moving story of Mickey's early years in baseball, from his
difficult rookie season to his triumphant return in 1951, "Mickey
Mantle" portrays the everlasting bond between father and son and
the making of one of baseball's greatest legends.
