Spanning several sports in each volume, these read more like record books and are exceptional in their inclusion of athletes with whom casual sports enthusiasts will not be familiar. . . .Even the least heart-wrenching stories will serve as bridges, encouraging students to do more research on these fascinating athletes who are heroes in more ways than one, each making huge impacts both in- and outside their respective sports. The strong writing and inclusion of many photographs make these titles exceptional selections. A top pick for tweens.-- School Library Journal
