Editorial Reviews

11/01/2020

Gr 2–5—This series provides fresh biographies of today's biggest names in sports. Football fanatics will love getting a closer look at the lives, careers, and workout routines of rookie quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) and Baker Mayfield (Cleveland Browns), as well as veteran quarterback Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) and linebacker Khalil Mack (Chicago Bears). The bios of basketball and baseball players Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks), Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans), and Pete Alonso (New York Mets) follow a similar format to the NFL stars. Female athletes are spotlighted too—swimmer Katie Ledecky, soccer forward Megan Rapinoe, and tennis superstar Serena Williams get excellent full-scope treatments. Each book ends with a synopsis of the athlete's charitable work. VERDICT This series spotlights household names, so librarians don't have to cherry-pick titles for local interest. First purchases all around.
