Episode Synopsis "Happy Reading ep 23: Offbeat Sports"

In this episode I share excerpts from five middle grade books that center around sports that generally aren't consdiered to be mainstream: Call Me Adnan by Reem Faruqi (table tennis), Barely Floating by Lilliam Rivera (synchronized swimming), Kenzie Kickstarts a Team by Kit Rosewater and Sophie Escabasse (roller derby), Black Brother, Black Brother by Jewell Parker Rhodes (fencing), and Raymie Nightingale by Kate DiCamillo (baton twirling).  A modified version of the transcript can be found here: https://happyrdng.blogspot.com/2023/11/i-wanna-see-you-sweat.html
