  From the NBA superstar: “A series of chapter books that celebrate sports, smarts and friendship . . . Amar’e is a likable protagonist.” —Kirkus Reviews 
   
  Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has been playing so much basketball lately it feels like he doesn’t have time to do all the things he used to love. His team needs him because he is one of the best players on the court despite also being one of the youngest. When some of the older kids get on Amar’e for not being able to dunk, he sets a goal to make that happen soon. But when Amar’e’s playing time is put on hold, he’ll have to come to terms with all of the other things he’s been neglecting in this exciting series based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar’e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today.

  Praise for the series 
   
  “Will keep basketball fans riveted . . . Amar’e’s voice is refreshingly real.” —Publishers Weekly

  Tabitha Plimtock lives in a house at the very edge of the world. She is a go-getter – that is, a dogsbody forced to go and get things – for her nasty relatives, Gower, Gristle, Bertha and Cousin Wilbur.
  One of Tabitha's endless chores involves descending the cliff face, via a net that hangs from the back of the house, to collect eggs, nuts and other things from the inhabitants of the wall. When rumours begin to circulate of monsters climbing from the base to gobble up unsuspecting wall-dwellers, Tabitha is worried for all her friends.
  Determined to save them, Tabitha seeks out the elusive and eccentric Dr Sherback. The doctor introduces her to a whole new world at the base – one that is dark, dangerous and absolutely thrilling – but not even Dr Sherback's vast knowledge can slow the terrible creatures climbing to the top of the wall.
  With a clever plan, and not a small amount of courage, can Tabitha stop the monsters and keeps the people she loves safe for good?
