Summary

Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée  Watson  continues her charming young middle grade series starring Ryan Hart, a girl who is pure spirit and sunshine. 
 
Ryan Hart loves her family and friends. She's looking forward to summer vacation, spending time with loved ones, and her first trip to sleepaway camp! But when an unexpected camper shows up, Ryan finds it's hard to share your best friend and harder to be a friend to someone who isn't a good friend to you.  She's also waiting for her new sister to be born -- and hoping the baby doesn't ruin everything. The Hart family is experiencing a lot of changes, and Ryan needs to grow her patience in many ways, find ways to share the love, meet new challenges, and grow into the leader her mom and dad named her to be. This summer and the start of fifth grade just might give Ryan the chance to show how she grows and glows!

    A big-brother bunny struggles to welcome his brand-new sibling in this sweet picture book with “a zesty layer of humor” (Booklist). Older siblings are notorious for reluctantly welcoming home a new bundle of joy, and many parents know the difficulty of teaching the firstborn to “love the baby.” In this new picture book by the award-winning team of Steven Layne and Ard Hoyt, the refrain of “looooove the baby” is repeated often enough for it to eventually come true for the once-insecure and spiteful older brother. The transition occurs when Baby cries and cries one night, and no one comes to help. Awakened by the cries, the older brother comes to Baby’s rescue. He makes Baby giggle and sing and builds a giant tower of blocks. He reads Baby his favorite book. Once Baby is finally asleep, the big brother notices with pride that he really does love the baby after all! Parents and teachers will appreciate how this book lightly and humorously approaches such a weighty subject for children awaiting or adjusting to a new sibling. With colorful illustrations of bunnies, kids of all backgrounds and ages can relate and recognize themselves in the story.   “There’s certainly no shortage of books about a child’s adjustment to a new baby in the house, but Layne’s take on the familiar theme is sweet and direct enough even for very young children to grasp.” —Booklist    “This story could well become a favorite for children who are grappling with accepting a new baby into the family.” —School Library Journal

    Amar’e’s idol, Overtime Tanner, plans the biggest streetball tournament every year. But when Overtime gets hurt during a basketball game, he can’t make the arrangements in time. So Amar’e and his friends help set the tournament up. On top of that, each group of Amar’e’s friends wants him to play for their team and he’s torn on what to do. Planning a tournament is a lot more work than playing in one. Will Amar’e’s hard work pay off? 
     
    Based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar’e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular athletes of today, this is “a series of chapter books that celebrate sports, smarts and friendship . . . Amar’e is a likable protagonist” (Kirkus Reviews). 
     
    Praise for the series 
     
    “Will keep basketball fans riveted . . . Amar’e’s voice is refreshingly real.” —Publishers Weekly

Helen and Thomas get married, and together, tame the remote corners of the wilderness by means of their imperishable love and a clear, well-beaten path.
