Scott Riley

    Riley Scott crée des récits qui éclairent les luttes et les réalités auxquelles est confrontée la communauté LGBT dans les petites villes d'Amérique, s'inspirant de ses expériences dans le Bible Belt. Son écriture donne une voix à ceux qui sont souvent négligés, mettant en lumière leurs histoires avec empathie et perspicacité. Bien qu'elle ait récemment déménagé en Floride, elle reste une fière habitante du Nouveau-Mexique avec une profonde appréciation pour sa partenaire, le piment vert, les chiens et la littérature vibrante. Par son travail, elle vise non seulement à refléter ces expériences, mais aussi à promouvoir une plus grande compréhension et visibilité.

    The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys Built Their Own Soccer Field
    • After watching the World Cup on television, a group of Thai boys is inspired to form their own team. But on the island of Koh Panyee, in a village built on stilts, there is no open space. The boys can play only twice a month on a sandbar when the tide is low enough. Everything changes when the teens join together to build their very own floating soccer field. This inspiring true story by debut author Scott Riley is gorgeously illustrated by Nguyen Quang and Kim Lien. Perfect for fans of stories about sports, beating seemingly impossible odds, and places and cultures not often shown in picture books.

      The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys Built Their Own Soccer Field
    • Sometimes, the girl who has it all, really doesn't. At first glance, high school basketball superstar Logan Watts is living the American dream--perfect grades, perfect appearance, perfect boyfriend, and a college athletic scholarship already lined up. But if people looked deeper, they'd see Logan is plagued by the loss of her older brother and unending internal questions about what's missing from her life. Logan's world is turned upside down when she catches Carter Shaw--the witty and stylish head of the school newspaper, and the only out lesbian in the school--staring at her in class. A high school romance is not in Carter's radar. She just wants to survive the year so she can move on and enjoy the freedoms of college. But when a chance encounter puts her alone with Logan for hours, Carter discovers just how much they have in common. And Logan realizes Carter could be that thing she's felt was missing all along. --from page [4] of cover
