Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9?Ten chapters with 26 average-quality black-and-white action photographs depict the life and activities of gymnast Shannon Miller. Quiner accurately describes her subject's accomplishments and difficulties in her development as a world class athlete and Olympic medalist. The author's knowledge of gymnastics and careful research combined with a crisp style give readers a good understanding of the depth and tenacity of this young woman. Quotes are documented in each chapter. An epilogue, glossary, notes, and information about the author are appended. Anyone interested in gymnastics or contemporary sports figures will enjoy this insightful book about this country's most decorated gymnast.?Janice C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 14, 2002
This book goes into great detail about Shannon's gymnastics career from the beginning up until the 96 Olympics and her professional career. It's the best book I have read on her so far. This book is great for a fan who wants this book as a "map" of her career, or for someone who did not watch gymnastics before 96.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shannon Miller, Seven Time Olympic Medalist, July 11, 1997
By A Customer
Shannon Miller, America's Most Decorated Gymnast is a great easy to read biography. Krista Quiner did an excellent job telling about Shannon's days in the former Soviot Union when she was just nine. This book goes through her first day at Steve Nunno's gym, Barcelona in '92, the days everyone was saying she was past her prime in the sport, right up until the '96 Olympics. Shannon's courage to never give up because she was older than most of her competition won her two gold medals in Atlanta, the team gold and her gold for her balance beam routine. This absolutly the best book written about Shannon Miller
