Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-6--Kelly and Wickham provide biographical sketches of five female basketball and track stars. Each book has short chapters of personal information about each athlete's rise within her sport and good-quality black-and-white photographs. The lively writing provides insights into the women's personalities and drive to succeed. Their hard work and dedication along with the influence and help of family and others are evident. Each profile includes quotes about and from the individual. The eye-catching covers feature action shots of some of the women profiled. Any student interested in contemporary sports figures will find these books both informative and enjoyable.
