  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!

  Written by the acclaimed Corey Ann Haydu, the Zoomi and Zoe series explores the wonder and anxiety of life's first big transitions with warmth, whimsy, and plenty of silliness. 
   
  Zoe loves routine, her stuffed rhino Zoomi, and her best friend Kyla. When Kyla moves away, Zoe feels alone. Until somehow, she’s transported to a magical new world with just one sort-of-familiar face: Zoomi, who is suddenly very much real. 
   
  Zoomi loves adventure, zooming, and her best friend Moo. In her world, life is full of happy surprises, but one ritual is certain: when something hard happens, she’ll have a Tricky Turnaround. And when she does, a Happy Helpful Human from the “real” world will arrive to help her through it. 
   
  But when Zoe arrives, she doesn’t seem very happy. Or helpful. Or interested in the party Zoomi threw for her—complete with toothbrushes and a rainbow mud slide. In fact, Zoe may be navigating a Tricky Turnaround of her own. Can Zoomi and Zoe come together to help each other with the trickier parts of growing up, like saying goodbye to friends and making new ones?
