Jennifer Capriati [Paperback]

Ellen Emerson White (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-- White uses a narrative approach to describe Capriati's tennis career from her amateur days to her rookie season as a professional. She does a nice job of analyzing her playing techniques and her performance in the major tennis tournaments. This is an informative book about the young woman's career, but there's little about her childhood and teenage life. Also, the book lacks statistics, a bibliography, and a glossary. The full-color photographs make it attractive, but Morrissette's Jennifer Capriati ( Sports Illustrated for Kids , 1991) is the title of choice. --Bruce Lee Siebers, Free Library of Philadelphia
