“Ludicrous—and a whole lot of fun…an enjoyable sports fantasy.” —Kirkus Reviews “Infused with silliness and sugar, but the banter is fast and sassy…Funny and believable.” —BCCB A basketball-loving girl makes a wish to never miss a basket in this charming middle grade novel that pushes girl power to the max! Lizzy Trudeaux loves basketball. She doesn’t have much by way of money, but she has access to the community court and a worn ball named Ginger, and she practices constantly. After fighting to join the boys’ team at her school, Lizzy is finally given the opportunity to show off her hard-earned skills. When she answers what she believes is another bill-collecting phone call, Lizzy receives a magical wish: the ability to sink every shot. Pure Swish. Now eviscerating the competition in the boys’ league is small potatoes—she has the skills to dominate in the NBA. With the help of her BFF Toby and some viral video action, Lizzy goes all the way to the Philadelphia Bells’s starting lineup, making history and taking names. Then, just as she’s about to go face-to-face with her hero, the best player on the planet, things begin to fall apart. But Lizzy isn’t a quitter and she’ll play her hardest for the love of the game.

"Lizzie Borden is a name that has lived in infamy." "Wasn't this the ghoulish daughter who "took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks" and then "gave her father forty-one"? Most people know the rhyme. What they don't know are the particulars of how Lizzie was hounded by prosecutors, pursued by the press, finally acquitted - yet always presumed guilty." "For answers to these and many other questions about the unsolved mystery of Lizzie Borden, author David Kent turned to Robert A. Flynn, a native of Fall River, Massachusetts. As they delved deeper into the mystery, Kent and Flynn (author of the foreword) gained complete access to voluminous material - including newly acquired papers and never-before-published photographs that are now part of this book." "With evidence gleaned from court records and murder-scene photographs, David Kent reopened the case that shook the sleepy town of Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. From essential details that were white-washed in the trial, a new picture of Lizzie Borden emerges, far different from the blood-stained portrait of legend. A true-crime mystery that reads like fiction, Forty Whacks is the vivid, compelling story of this woman's defense in the merciless courtroom of public opinion."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Somehow Henry Ford knew what Americans were hankering for: “Everybody wants to be someplace he ain’t. As soon as he gets there, he wants to go right back.” And so, he pioneered the Model T–the first affordable car for the masses. David Weitzman has meticulously documented the development of the assembly line and the many innovations and adaptations Ford put to use in making his famous Tin Lizzy. When the Ford plant first opened, the crew could make 18,000 cars a year at a cost of $950 each. In just ten years, they had refined the process enough so that they could build one million cars in a year and the price had come down to about $350. Filled with detailed black-and-white drawings, helpful text and captions, and fascinating quotes from Ford employees, this elegant book gives young readers a look at a mechanical genius in action.
