  When Luis joins his new baseball team, the Manatees, things seem hopeless at 
  first. Some of his new teammates— including “loud and obnoxious” home-run 
  slugger Jimmie—are mean to him or to each other. His new coach doesn’t tell the 
  players everything to do like his old coach did. And some of the Manatees seem 
  more interested in goofing off than in working hard. Then Coach Joe makes Luis 
  team captain. Will Luis rise to the challenge? Can he get the Manatees to balance 
  working hard and having fun? Will he help his teammates learn to be friends rather 
  than compete? 
  Baseball Buddies explores the power of working together, what it takes to build a 
  team, and the lasting friendships that form on the baseball field.

  Oh what a difference a day makes.
  
  When I was back at Lady Agnue’s School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, I used to wonder how I would make it through an entire day of classes, magic training, and homework.
  
  As the legendary magic flux known as the Vicennalia Aurora emerged, I wondered how I could possibly overthrow the evil king of Camelot, defeat Glinda in Oz, and get back in time to stop the antagonists from breaking out of Alderon and invading my world of Book—all in one day.
  
  I guess that’s what good friends are for. Good friends, and magic. My epic powers to give life and take it away were getting stronger and being heightened by the Vicennalia Aurora, so I had the ammunition to challenge every obstacle and villain that came our way. However, one problem remained: How could I unleash my magic to achieve our goals and defeat our enemies while keeping the power from corrupting me?
  
  From Merlin to the Fairy Godmother Supreme, everywhere I’d gone in recent days I’d been supplemented by powerful people who all thought they knew what I was capable of and how my morality should develop. But they didn’t understand my burden. I wanted to save all the realms that needed me; I wanted to save everyone. But could I do that and save myself from succumbing to the disease ingrained in my magic? I didn’t know.
  
  I sure missed the days of homework though.

  Call Me Roberto! - Roberto...

  GROWING UP IN CAROLINA, Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente loved to play baseball. He swung a tree branch—since he didn’t have a bat—and hit tin cans. At the age of 19, his passion for the sport paid off when he was tapped for a Major League team. First stop: chilly Montreal, where he warmed the bench and himself, longing to play baseball. Months later, he finally got his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates where his talent on the field was soon on display. Many fans loved his bold playing style, but not everyone was quick to embrace a Black man from Puerto Rico who spoke español. A man who demanded to be called Roberto, not Bob. 
   
  MLB.com journalist Nathalie Alonso shows the emotional highs and lows of Roberto Clemente’s career as he fought racism—from fans, reporters, and other figures in the sport—to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
