All the ways to go
(Book)

A heartwarming contemporary middle-grade from the author of The Doughnut Fix: As twelve-year-old chess prodigy Milo Bloom grapples with the anxiety that's ruining his game, the last thing he needs is for a brand-new half sister to show up at his door. Twelve-year old chess prodigy Milo Bloom has lost the zone, that magical place his mind goes--or used to go when he plays chess. When he plays now, all he can think about is how bad it will be if he loses and how disappointed everyone will be. But when a girl he's never seen before shows up at his door with the news that she's his half-sister, Milo's life gets even more complicated. As he learns about his new sister, Roxie, the two also learn a new game, Go. And as he gets deeper into the game, it becomes the only thing in his life that makes sense, when everything else is falling apart.
