Review
Olympic Gold! is an inspiring series. -- Children's Bookwatch
Product Description
This East German figure skater dominated the Olympic Games in 1984 and 1988. Born into a failing Communist society, Katarina saw skating as the only way out of a bleak and unfulfilling future.
The Olympic Games never lose their magic. Time and time again, on the track, on the bars, and on the ice, Olympic athletes capture the imaginations of people all over the world. The stories of young people who have struggled against adversity to earn their place in the spotlight are those that inspire us the most. The Olympic Gold! series presents these stories and honors international heroes whose dedication and discipline earned them the greatest prize in sports.
Grades 3-7; 7 x 9; 64 pages; More than 30 color and black-and-white illustrations; Sturdy library binding; Glossary; Further Reading; Index
