Key Selling Points Shows that exercise is for everyone, emphasizes collaboration even in competition and encourages empathy, as Jordan realizes his "rival", Ivan, is actually just a shy new kid. The school's Massey Obstacle Olympics (MOO) is a take on the grueling Tough Mudder endurance event, complete with unexpected rain and mud for Jordan to contend with. The third early chapter book featuring Jordan and Max, this book continues the gentle exploration of gender performance and identity. Suzanne Sutherland's debut novel was an ALA Rainbow Book List selection; like Jordan, she got into running as a "decidedly unathletic" kid and loves it to this day. There are 22 black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Jordan and Max, Showtime

By: Suzanne Sutherland

Jordan had a tough time with the other kids at his old school. So, on his first day at Massey Elementary, he has a plan: to be absolutely invisible. His new classmates don't need to know that his grandmother is his best friend or that they put on shows together dressing up in elaborate costumes each night in their apartment. When he's forced to pair up with Max, a loud-mouthed loner with a love for Hawaiian shirts, Jordan's cover of invisibility threatens to be blown completely. But with the help of his partner's unique artistic vision, Jordan begins to see that his sparkling secret deserves to be revealed. This partially illustrated early chapter book is a gentle exploration of friendship, gender performance and identity.

Jordan and Max, Field Trip!

By: Suzanne Sutherland

It’s everyone’s favorite day of winter semester: the class field trip to the museum! Jordan is excited to see the mummies and Max can’t wait for his first trip to the big city without his big sisters watching over him. But when Jordan gets distracted by an extraordinary costume display and Max flies off to the depths of the Bat Cave, the group carries on to lunch without them. Before the two friends know it, their class has left the museum and they’re all alone downtown! Jordan knows they should find their classmates, but it’s hard to do the responsible thing when there is so much to do in the city. With Max at his side, the pair run wild: dancing alongside street musicians and tasting food from every single vendor they can find. Just when they think the day couldn’t get any more interesting, Jordan and Max find themselves in a strange neighborhood after dark where an even stranger ceremony is getting underway...a winter solstice celebration! This is the second book from Suzanne Sutherland featuring Jordan and Max, following Jordan and Max: Showtime! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
