Not an easy win / Chrystal D. Giles.
FOUR STARRED REVIEWS! Can Lawrence figure out how to get on the board, even though the odds are stacked against him?Introducing a powerful novel about figuring out who you are when you don't make the rules--just right for middle-grade fans of Nic Stone and Jason Reynolds."Smart and moving."--Book RiotLawrence is ready for a win. ... Nothing's gone right for Lawrence since he had to move from Charlotte to Larenville, North Carolina, to live with his granny. When Lawrence ends up in one too many fights at his new school, he gets expelled. The fight wasn't his fault, but since his pop's been gone, it feels like no one listens to what Lawrence has to say. Instead of going to school, Lawrence starts spending his days at the rec center, helping out a neighbor who runs a chess program. Some of the kids in the program will be picked to compete in the Charlotte Classic chess tournament. Could this be Lawrence's chance to go home?Lawrence doesn't know anything about chess, but something about the center--and the kids there--feels right. Lawrence thought the game was over ... but does he have more moves left than he thought?
