"Chess Club: The Winning Move" by Rebecca Donnelly is an engaging middle-grade novel centered on four sixth graders who form a chess club in their small town. The story follows Halima Kasim, a passionate chess player who wishes for more over-the-board chess opportunities beyond online play. Encouraged by her best friend Jem, Halima gains the confidence to start the club, recruiting Jem and two other distinct members: Parker, who wants to stand out from his athletic siblings, and Daniel, who joins after discovering a mysterious note.
Through alternating perspectives, the book weaves together themes of friendship, teamwork, and navigating the ups and downs of middle school social life. It also integrates basic chess instruction and history, using chess as a metaphor for personal growth, resilience, and sportsmanship. The narrative touches on relevant social themes such as bullying, loss of friendships, and identity, making it a heartfelt and educational story for young readers.
Illustrated with grayscale drawings and chess diagrams to support readers' understanding of chess moves, this 224-page book, published in 2025, offers both a fun and instructive reading experience on and off the chessboard.
