  In this YA memoir, pro surfer Maya Gabeira tells the awe-inspiring true story of her journey from unstoppable teenager to the Guinness World Record–holding legend she is today 
    
  Who am I, beyond the board? Surf legend Maya Gabeira is famous for her nerve. Her surfing journey began at the age of fourteen and reached a high when she set (and later broke) a Guinness World Record for highest wave conquered by any big wave surfer—man or woman—after bouncing back from a near-fatal accident. Gabeira has been heralded as one of the top surfers of her generation. But who is the ferocious personality beyond the board? What are the stories behind the relationships and challenges that shaped her into the indomitable surfer, women’s rights advocate, and champion for mental health awareness she is today? 
    
  For the first time ever, Maya looks back on her formative years: the romances, career highs, vulnerabilities, and setbacks that defined her at an early age. At seventeen, she left her home in Rio de Janeiro in order to chase waves around the world, toting a single backpack and waiting tables to get by. Maya carved her own path as a teen, defining her own remarkable narrative: that of a vulnerable, passionate, and driven young woman who learned never to flinch—even in the face of death. 
    
  "Gabeira’s journey will captivate young athletes and inspire them to break barriers. A celebration of the possibilities for those who are made to feel like outsiders in sports."—Kirkus Reviews

  Abigail Adams lived through the Revolutionary War and became the First Lady of the second president of the United States. Though women of her time could not vote, govern, or own property, Abigail believed that women should not be ruled by laws they did not make. Although she did not see these rights come to women, she never gave up talking, writing, and perhaps most important, believing that women were equal to men. Her courage and strength enabled her to help her husband create a new country. She never fired a gun, but her pen was a weapon that helped win freedom for her country--and herself.

  The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester - The Laws of Physics State That Two Bodies Cannot Occupy the Same Space at the Same Time-but Dr. Halday Finds a Loophole! 
  Alfred Bester was an American science fiction author, editor, and scriptwriter whose bold imagination and innovative prose reshaped the genre. A native New Yorker, Bester studied psychology and philosophy before turning to writing in the late 1930s, contributing stories to pulps like Thrilling Wonder Stories. During the 1940s he worked extensively in comics, scripting for DC titles such as Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman, where he co-created enduring concepts including the Green Lantern Oath. 
  Bester’s true breakthrough came in the 1950s with two landmark novels: The Demolished Man (1953), the first Hugo Award winner for Best Novel, a dazzling blend of crime fiction and telepathy; and The Stars My Destination (1956), a revenge-driven space opera often hailed as one of science fiction’s greatest works. 
  Beyond novels, Bester’s short stories are regarded as classics for their experimental flair. He also worked in radio, television, and magazine editing, spending time as features editor for Holiday magazine. Though his later novels received mixed reception, Bester’s mid-century works remain milestones of modern science fiction. Celebrated for his wit, linguistic play, and relentless energy, Alfred Bester is remembered as one of the field’s most original and enduring voices.
