The definitive biography of a legendary athlete. The Shrug. The Shot. The Flu Game. Michael Jordan is responsible for sublime moments so ingrained in sports history that they have their own names. When most people think of him, they think of his beautiful shots with the game on the line, his body totally in sync with the ball -- hitting nothing but net. But for all his greatness, this scion of a complex family from North Carolina's Coastal Plain has a darker side: he's a ruthless competitor and a lover of high stakes. There's never been a biography that encompassed the dual nature of his character and looked so deeply at Jordan on and off the court -- until now. Basketball journalist Roland Lazenby spent almost thirty years covering Michael Jordan's career in college and the pros. He witnessed Jordan's growth from a skinny rookie to the instantly recognizable global ambassador for basketball whose business savvy and success have millions of kids still wanting to be just like Mike. Yet Lazenby also witnessed the Michael Jordan whose drive and appetite are more fearsome and more insatiable than any of his fans could begin to know. Michael Jordan: The Life explores both sides of his personality to reveal the fullest, most compelling story of the man who is Michael Jordan. Lazenby draws on his personal relationships with Jordan's coaches; countless interviews with Jordan's friends, teammates, and family members; and interviews with Jordan himself to provide the first truly definitive study of Michael Jordan: the player, the icon, and the man.Shipping Notes

One of the best books I have read this year!
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful novel-in-verse that will stay with me for a very long time. It is a must read for anyone middle grade or older.
What I loved:
- The Poetry- intriguing similes and metaphors, emotions captured on the page, powerful language
- The Perspective- I appreciated that the protagonist was not from Aleppo, but from a vacation town on the sea in Syria. This shows a different perspective than I have seen, but one that is equally as important. Jude and her mother then come to stay with her uncle in America, and again, the perspective was different than other "refugee" stories but equally powerful.
- The People- Jude is protagonist to cheer for, however, there are so many dynamic, diverse characters in this story.

Timely, Necessary & Important
Format: Hardcover
Oh, I absolutely adored Jasmine Warga’s Other Words for Home, a moving story told in verse of a Syrian girl and her mother fleeing from their home in their war torn country. It’s impossible not to feel empathetic towards the family as they are split up over the turmoil. I was immersed in Jude’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences in America as it was so poetically and honestly written. The Arabic proverbs referred to in the story were so beautiful and poignant, enhancing an already authentic, necessary and emotional look into the life of immigrants. This novel should be in every school library as it unabashedly encourages the need for kindness and understanding for all...important messages we should always be teaching and promoting...and students . I love having and supporting students like Jude in my class as they beam with pride learning and overcoming challenges—it warms my heart when they feel accepted and loved as they should.

Necessary, Poignant, Powerful, Beautiful
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for myself, but would recommend it for anyone 11+. It is a beautiful, hopeful story about a girl growing up between worlds, honoring her heritage and parents' culture while embracing her new community and breaking out into her own wonderful self. It touches on really important themes about conflict, violence, identity, hate crimes, family tensions, growing up, and more, but all with grace, honesty, and tenderness. This would be an amazing conversation starter for teens and preteens.
I am not a refugee, but I grew up crossing cultures, and this story brought me to tears in all the best ways. I cannot recommend it enough!

Highlands and highlights
Format: Kindle
I always enjoy Clare’s books an “Not Part of the Plan” didn’t disappoint. I love that the MC’s were childhood friends that had drifted apart but found their way back to each other.
I could identify with Poppy not wanting to be a part of the family business as I didn’t want to go in to my family business. I moved to the other side of the country and went into another business too.
I loved Poppy and Eliza’s love story. I also loved that Poppy’s mother and grandmother’s spirits were there to help Poppy found her way with her future.
Clare keep writing your great love stories. This story is a read again story as is the London series. Thanks for the great story.
