Gr 4–7—This informative series shares the life stories of favorite pro athletes. Each book includes the history of the superstar's rise in their particular field as well as a synopsis of key moments in their careers. Not only do the books comprehensively cover the athletes' careers, some make mention of retirement plans. JuJu Smith-Schuster knows he can't be a wide receiver forever, so he hopes to turn his hobby of gaming into a career after he retires. Each book emphasizes how the stars use their money and fame to help others, like how Christian Yelich worked to raise money after the devastating California wildfires. Naomi Osaka's bio includes a sensitive look at her 2018 U.S. Open win, which was tinged with sadness as the crowd booed her victory over Serena Williams. Young readers will definitely come away inspired to work hard on their dreams. VERDICT Recommended first purchases.
