  In this magical adventure that's perfect for fans of Lisa Yee and Erin Entrada Kelly, star athlete Thea must face her worst fears when two mischievous duwendes, Filipino goblins, threaten to wreak havoc on her life—and destroy her town. 
  Thea gets a chance to begin anew at Pacific Academy. There, she’s a star athlete, someone with friends and popularity.  
  But disaster strikes at Junior Stunt Warrior summer camp with her new friends: Her extremely uncool former best friend, Evan, shows up too, and she discovers that stunt class is the one activity she’s not good at. Actually, it’s something she’s terrified of. It all reminds Thea of the shy, invisible version of herself she’s determined to leave behind.  
  Then, in the midst of building a practice obstacle course, Thea wrecks a tree that a pair of grumpy duwendes—Filipino goblins—call home. She’s shocked that not only are duwendes real, but the two in her backyard want revenge.  
  Now Thea must team up with friends new and old to fend off the duwendes before they destroy her entire neighborhood. But can she pull it off while saving her cool-girl image, too?

  It is good to follow the rules. But there are just so many! In this fourth book in the beloved Jo Jo Makoons chapter book series, Jo Jo’s talents may not quite include following her substitute teacher’s rules…  
  Jo Jo and her classmates are excited that the Elders’ Tribal Center has changed the rules for the talent show to invite the whole tribe to perform. But the rules have also changed in Jo Jo’s classroom, where instead of their teacher, they have a substitute. Since Jo Jo has a knack for being helpful, she puts her mind to helping her classmates decide on their talents—but can she manage to follow the substitute teacher’s rules? 
  Even if no one else quite understands Jo Jo’s own rules (like that saying “please” makes words softer and fluffier to hear and that square foods are too pointy to be yummy), her undeniable talents for celebrating, curiosity, and class keep her happily hop-skipping in step with her Ojibwe community. 
  The first book in this acclaimed chapter book series was an American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor Book; a best book of the year from Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, American Indians in Children's Literature, and the Chicago Public Library; a Charlotte Huck Award Honor Book; and a Cooperative Children's Book Center CCBC Choices selection. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

This summary is not intended to substitute the original book, but to offer a concise overview and interpretation of its main ideas. 
  In the gritty heart of 1990s New York, a basketball revolution was born—not with flash, but with fire. Blood in the Garden tells the raw, unfiltered story of the New York Knicks during one of the most unforgettable eras in NBA history. Under the intense leadership of Pat Riley and later Jeff Van Gundy, the Knicks transformed from underachievers into street-level warriors, earning respect through resilience, defense, and unapologetic toughness. 
  This audiobook dives deep into the culture, conflict, and chaos that defined the Knicks' rise. From epic playoff battles and locker-room clashes to leadership shifts and identity crises, every chapter reveals what it takes to build—and sometimes lose—a legacy. More than just sports history, this is a story about strategy, character, and the price of greatness.
