Aisholpan Nurgaiv, the subject of the award-winning documentary The
Eagle Huntress, tells her own story for the first time, speaking
directly with writer Liz Welch (I Will Always Write Back), who
traveled to Mongolia for this book. Her story and fresh, sincere
voice are not only inspiring but truly magnificent: with the
support of her father, she captured and trained her own golden
eagle and won the ?lgii eagle festival. She was the only girl to
compete in the festival. Her triumphant story hits on multiple key
nonfiction points of appeal: stories of survival, of unique
animal-human bonds, and of girls accomplishing amazing things. One
of the consistent highest-achieving trends in middle-grade
nonfiction continues to be empowering stories about strong girls
accomplishing tasks that had previously been considered impossible.
Not only does Aisholpan's story deliver that sensation in spades,
but it comes with strong media ties from the 2016 documentary about
her and her achievements.

Jackie and Hank were born eight years and one thousand miles apart.
Nobody knew these babies would grow up and play baseball. Nobody
knew Jackie and Hank would meet and become heroes. Jackie Robinson
and Hank Greenberg were two very different people. But they both
became Major League Baseball players, and they both faced a lot of
the same challenges in their lives and careers. For Jackie, it was
because of his skin color. For Hank, it was because of his
religion. On May 17, 1947 these two men met for the first time
colliding at first base in a close play. While the crowd urged them
to fight, Jackie and Hank chose a different path. This is the story
of two men who went on to break the barriers of race and religion
in American sports and became baseball legends in the process.
