Age range 9+Kobe Bryant' s legacy of uplifting and inspiring young athletes continues in this highly anticipated follow-up to the #1New York Times bestsellerLegacy and the Queen. Legacy Petrin is a national tennis champion, but she doesn' t feel like one. At the orphanage where she grew up, far from the city where she learned to shine, Legacy struggles to focus on her training. Her famous magical inner light dims and darkens until she barely recognises herself. Then a girl who looks exactly like Legacy - same burlap dress, same signature glow - starts playing in Legacy' s name. She wins matches in the city, makes charming speeches in support of ' Queen' Silla, and gains a devoted following. Soon, Silla issues a decree against impersonating champions, which means that the real Legacy could be arrested simply for looking like herself. To reclaim her name and her identity, Legacy has no choice but to compete in disguise. . . until she can rise through the ranks, face off against her imposter, and prove that she is the one and only Legacy Petrin - a champion who was born to shine.

Tribute: Cocker Power

A young tennis champion becomes the target of revenge. In this sequel to Legacy and the Queen (2019), Legacy Petrin and her friends Javi and Pippa have returned to Legacy' s home province and the orphanage run by her father. With her friends' help, she is in training to defend her championship when they discover that another player, operating under the protection of High Consul Silla, is presenting herself as Legacy. She is so convincing that the real Legacy is accused of being an imitation. False Legacy has become a hero to the masses, further strengthening Silla' s hold, and it becomes imperative to uncover and defeat her. If Legacy is to win again, she must play her imposter while disguised as someone else. Winning at tennis is not just about money and fame, but resisting Silla' s plans to send more young people into brutal mines with little hope of better lives. Legacy will have to overcome her fears and find the magic that allowed her to claim victory in the past. This story, with its elements of sports, fantasy, and social consciousness that highlight tensions between the powerful and those they prey upon, successfully continues the series conceived by late basketball superstar Bryant. As before, the tennis matches are depicted with pace and spirit. Legacy and Javi have brown skin; most other characters default to White. A worthy combination of athletic action, the virtues of inner strength, and the importance of friendship. -Kirkus
