Reviews
"This snappy series provides bios of current big-name athletes. The overviews offer an in-depth look at each athlete's rise to fame, including their early life and preprofessional play. For soccer star Alex Morgan and snowboarding phenom Chloe Kim, the author touches briefly what they plan to do after their sports career is over (they can't compete forever, after all). Readers may be surprised to learn that NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who grew up poor in Greece, sent all his money to his family overseas during his rookie season. After Super Bowl LIV, Patrick Mahomes books will be in great demand (and will be slightly outdated). The writing is solid in each book and with stars like these, you can't go wrong. VERDICT Well-written options, so pick what will be popular in your community."
