Halo My Name Is

Geanna Culbertson

Synopsis

Dig Deep, Fly High

If you’re just tuning in to my Guardian Angel adventure, here’s the ten-cent tour.

Everyone who goes to Heaven has a purpose, and a job. Not the kind with time clocks and tax returns—these are celestial jobs full of fun, wonder, and afterlife awesomeness. Unless you’re a Guardian Angel like me. Then the career description also comes with the adjectives stressful, strenuous, and super-complex.

My name is Grace Reyes Cardiff and I’ve been assigned to protect Henry Sun, an incoming college freshman, and my friend. The powers that be say he needs a GA because he has the potential to positively impact humankind in a big way. The problem, despite our friendship, this easygoing guy is turning difficult now that issues of control and free will are at stake. Factor in monster attacks across San Diego, and my French and fabulous demon archenemy, and an angel barely has time for a personal afterlife. Which I need in order to learn to fly with my new wings, master my latest powers, and go on my first date with a certain handsome sir in my angel training class. 

Yup, discovering the afterlife approach to soulmates, near-death experiences, and the boundaries of Heaven and Hellare going to be fighting for my attention this year as I undergo tests of character alongside tests in biology and chemistry. 

Too bad I have no alone time to study what with me harboring and trying to reform a demon fugitive in Heaven . . .

Epic Athletes: Stephen Curry

Dan Wetzel

In Epic Athletes: Stephen Curry, acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Dan Wetzel tells the inspiring, electrifying story of the NBA superstar, beginning a new series of sports biographies for young readers!
 
When you think of Stephen Curry, one word comes to mind: greatness. From shooting three-pointers with laser precision to his clutch ability to hit buzzer-beaters time and again, he has established himself as one of the best players in pro basketball.
 
But greatness was never a guarantee for Steph. The son of a talented NBA player, he dreamed of one day playing professionally just like his dad. Yet Steph, who was always smaller and weaker than the competition, was told over and over that he would never be talented enough to be a college star or NBA player--let alone the MVP of the entire league. Through tenacity and hard work, he proved them all wrong and went on to dismantle the record books.
 
With the high energy of a TV commentator this engaging biography tells the story of an NBA All-Star and the path he took to achieve his dreams.
 
* "Wetzel knows how to organize the facts and tell a good story. . . an unusually informative and enjoyable sports biography for young readers." ―Booklist (starred review)A Junior Library Guild selection!
