Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8-These books share some of the events in these athletes' personal and professional lives. Manning comes from a storybook/fairy-tale background. His father played in the NFL and young Peyton became accustomed to being in the company of the rich and famous. Moss came from a poor, segregated West Virginia town. He made some poor choices and was arrested. Both men earned scholarships, attended college, and are currently playing professional football. Both of these easy-to-read biographies have plenty of information, statistical charts, and color photographs.

I have been following Peyton Manning's career since he joined the Indianapolis Colts in 1998. This book provides an upclose look at his life and sports career. It takes readers to the 50 yard line to catch of glimple of Manning in action. It also goes behind the scenes. The information is correct and timely. It's also a very fast read. A must for Colts fans, young and old.

As a avid fan of football, I bought this book for my kid who is a Peyton Manning fan. Not only did he enjoy the book, I also found myself reading the book. It tells of his growing up with and NFL father. And his college career and starts off with the professional career. This is a must for all Manning fans. (young & old)
