Walter Dean Myers has always written about teens, and now for the first time ever he has teamed up with a teen writer, Ross Workman, for this collaboration about a teen star soccer player and the cop assigned as his mentor.
Kevin Johnson is thirteen years old. And heading for juvie. He’s a good kid, a great friend, and a star striker for his Highland, New Jersey, soccer team. His team is competing for the State Cup, and he wants to prove he has more than just star-player potential. Kevin’s never been in any serious trouble . . . until the night he ends up in jail. Enter Sergeant Brown, a cop assigned to be Kevin’s mentor. If Kevin and Brown can learn to trust each other, they might be able to turn things around before it’s too late.
This ebook also includes a teaser to Walter Dean Myers’s new book, All the Right Stuff (£4.99), about one teen whose crash course in street philosophy will change his outlook on life.
World famous competitive skydiver and coach Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld presents proven tools and techniques for success and explains how they can be used in everyday life.
Dan survived a plane crash from which sixteen of the twenty-two people on board were killed. He was left critically injured and woke up from a six-week-long coma with a broken neck, broken skull, severe head trauma, a collapsed lung, and other serious internal injuries. Against all odds, Dan recovered and went on to become one of the greatest competitive skydiver in the world.
With the love and support of friends and family, Dan was able not only to resurrect his life but return to skydiving to achieve greater heights than he could have ever imagined. His techniques and methods for excelling are applicable to all people, no matter their goals. Dan uses his experiences to teach the lessons he’s learned–as a competitor, coach, business owner, father, and husband–to help others achieve their dreams, overcome obstacles, and reach their peak performance.

Lying on an operating table, about to undergo emergency heart surgery, Elliott Goodman hears the voice of God–as in The Almighty–speaking to him. God, it seems, has a last-second wager for Elliott, challenging him to an eighteen-hole golf match. If Elliott wins, he’ll be saved. If he loses. . .
God sends down eighteen legendary opponents to play against Elliott and to hopefully teach him a few tricks along the way. From Leonardo da Vinci (nice clubs) to Marilyn Monroe (nice. . .everything), Babe Ruth (pass the hot dogs), Abraham Lincoln 
(cheater!), and fourteen other luminaries, including Moses, John Lennon, Joan of Arc, Picasso, W.C. Fields, Gandhi, and Shakespeare, Elliott squares off against some of the most extraordinary people who’ve ever lived. As shots are analyzed, balls enter bunkers, and Freud drives the cart (control freak), Elliott has a chance to examine his life and his form, to see what he can correct or improve before facing his ultimate adversary.
Big-hearted and delightfully original, Match Made in Heaven is a timeless tale about finding joy and inspiration on the greatest of all courses–life.
This unforgettable account of Muhammad Ali’s rise and self-creation, told by a Pullitzer Prize-winning writer, places Ali in a heritage of great American originals. David Remnick concentrates on Ali’s early career, when he was still fighting as Cassius Clay. The book begins in September 1962 with the fight between Floyd Patteson and Sonny Liston, providing a remarkable sociological backdrop 
to Ali’s entrance on the boxing scene. Remnick then describes Clay’s 1964 fight with Liston, which even his own people thought Clay couldn’t win, and takes us through to 1967 when Ali refused the military draft to Vietnam.
This is much more than a sports book. It is a study of the rise of the black voice in the American consciousness and a look at how the media creates its heroes – Cassius Clay began as a ‘light-hitting loudmouth’ before becoming gradually canonized by the American press and public as Muhammad Ali. King of the World takes us back to the days when his life was a series of battles, inside the ring and out.
A master storyteller at the height of his powers, David Remnick has written a book worthy of America’s most dynamic moden hero. You can purchase the book today for £2.14.

favourite stallion.
With the toss of a coin it is agreed that one family will take Somethingroyal’s first foal with the losing stable taking the colt out of Hasty Matelda and Somethingroyal’s second foal.

An Epic Swindle is the inside story of how Liverpool FC came within hours of being re-possessed by the banks after the shambolic 44-month reign of American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. It is a tale of a civil war that dragged Britain’s most successful football club to its knees, through the High Court and almost into administration.

Manager, chief executive, board members, leading fans and journalists reveal the turmoil at a revered sporting institution run by two men at war with each other, who trampled Liverpool’s cherished traditions into the gutter. No story sums up the naked greed at the heart of modern football quite like Hicks’ and Gillett’s attempt to turn a buck at Liverpool.

An Epic Swindleis the riveting story of how close one of the great football clubs came to financial implosion. You can buy this book for £2.99 today.
