  A smart, funny, and heartfelt middle grade novel about Lily Hong’s attempts to save her parents’ Chinese school and the town’s community center using all the resources she has—devoted friends, ingenuity, a passion for filmmaking, mediocre dance moves (at best), and perhaps even her archnemesis. 
  If there’s one thing Lily Hong can’t stand, it’s being second best. That’s why she and Max Zhang have been bitter rivals ever since he swooped into town as the new kid with the cool clothes and his fancy downtown Chinese school and showed her up in the fifth-grade reading challenge.  
  She had wanted to be the one to win the pizza party for their class. Okay, so that was two years ago . . . her best friends Kelli and Lauren didn’t totally get it, but they were on her side. And that’s why they agreed to help Lily with her submission for the Clarktown’s Got Talent video competition. Filmmaking is Lily’s passion—which means winning is more important to her than ever. 
  Unfortunately, finding time to work on her video submission is proving harder than ever. In addition to doing regular homework and attending the Chinese school her parents own and run out of the Clarktown Community Center, Lily’s been getting weird vibes from her parents lately and she can tell something is up. Then her mom announces that the Clarktown Community Center is having its first showcase, and the students of Hong Chinese Academy will be performing as a group—traditional Chinese dance! 
  Lily is more confused than anything else—the community center is practically falling apart and they think this is a good time to put on a show? Could it be that the community center is in trouble and the only way to save it is to make the showcase a huge success? Lily has no choice. She’ll have to juggle the video competition and the art of Chinese dance simultaneously. But when Max Zhang unexpectedly shows up in her class at Chinese school with his perfect Mandarin and his surprisingly good dance skills, Lily might just have to embrace her longtime rival as a key part of her plan to save the community center.

  The Minions of Midas by Jack London - What happens when a secret society demands your fortune—or sacrifices innocent lives instead? An electrifying tale of power, greed, and morality. 
  Jack London was an interesting man. He ran for Mayor of Oakland, California twice in 1901 and 1905 as the Socialist candidate and lost both both times garnering less than a thousand votes in those elections.  
  Did you know that The Minions of Midas was turned into a Netflix series in 2020? The show is set in Madrid, Spain, and while it’s originally in Spanish, it’s also available in English. A story Jack London wrote back in 1901—that was mostly overlooked for nearly 120 years—is now a full-blown miniseries!

  A must-have book to reap major-league benefits! 
  What’s The Endgame is a guidebook designed to help families navigate youth baseball, written by former All-American outfielder at Kansas State University and professional baseball player Sean Collins, who was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 1989. 
  This book is packed with over three decades of wisdom to help young ballplayers maximize their baseball dreams and guide parents through the journey, including: 
  ● Insights on the types of levels that are appropriate 
  ● Clearly defining their ballplayer’s role 
  ● Recognizing expectations going into a season 
  ● Principles that have helped ballplayers 
  What's the Endgame provides one-of-a-kind insights on how to pursue a baseball career, whether it’s playing for a major college baseball program or making it to big-league stadiums. 
  A note from Coach Collins: “I wish I had this book in my life when I was pursuing my baseball dreams. I had a lot of success, but there were also many mistakes made because I did not have anyone in my life early on who had the experience and know-how that could help me. That's what What’s the Endgame is designed to be. Readers will be able to define an endgame for their child’s journey from practice to team ball, and much more. Parents will be able to define the ‘why’ of what they are doing.” 
  Readers should look at this book as if they are the hardware and the information in this book is the software—a guidebook to keep handy. Let my years of successes, pain, and suffering be your guide as you help your young ballplayer chase their dreams.
