Gr 4–6—So who really is the greatest athlete of all time? This series narrows the greatest debate in sports down by sharing contenders in different athletic fields. After laying out the history of each, the books countdown the top 10 athletes in each sport. In Boxing's G.O.A.T., and Pro Wrestling's G.O.A.T. readers will learn about the powerful athletes who gravitate toward these heavy-hitting sports, like the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. and superstar golden boy Hulk Hogan. The athletes of gymnastics (like the amazing Simone Biles) and track and field (including Jesse Owens) put their bodies on the line every day to achieve greatness. Golf and tennis greats do that, too, but they also perfect the use of their tools to battle for the title of greatest. Each book ends with a prompt for readers to consider who they think is the G.O.A.T.—one of the athletes listed or someone else entirely! VERDICT Full of engaging play-by-play writing, this series is a real winner.
