Sinopse

Kingsbridge had taken the field for practice, the visitors having warmed up already. The Northern League, a genuine “bush” organization, had opened two days earlier in Bancroft and Fryeburg, but this was to be the first game of the season in Kingsbridge, a hustling, crude, though ambitious pulp-mill town.
As it was Saturday afternoon, when the mills closed down at three o’clock, there was certain to be a big crowd in attendance, double assurance of which could be seen in the rapidly filling grand stand and bleachers, and the steady stream of humanity pouring in through the gates.
 
As Riley approached, a lean, sallow man, with a hawk-beak nose, rose from the home bench and nodded, holding out a bony hand, which, cold as a dead fish, was almost smothered in the pudgy paw put forth to meet it.

And the unexpected friendships she forms might be more precious than anything she's ever owned.In her extraordinary middle grade debut, Suzanne Supplee brings a small Tennessee town and its memorable residents to life.

    An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestselling Gordon Korman. 
     
    Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. 
     
    Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? 
     
    Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. 
     
    The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face—not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. 
     
    With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the "who did it?" isn't nearly as important as the why.

    But then she meets Jack, who knows how to survive in the wild, and Chloe, who shows her a secret underground library. Little by little, Mia starts to feel braver. And as she spends more time with her grandpa, she realizes that maybe he isn’t as grumpy as he seems. 
    Can Mia find her place in this new world? Can she learn to believe in herself and let go of her worries?
