An excellent sports biography of hockey's Cammi Granto
Cammi Granato and Women's Hockey might not be as important in the minds of sports fans as some women who play soccer, basketball and tennis, but up here in the Northland (home of the only team ever to win the NCAA Frozen Four of Womens Hockey) we are talking about something that is more akin to a religion than a sport.More importantly, Thom Loverro has written one of the best juvenile biographies of a sports star I have read in some time.Starting with the 3-1 over Canada that earned the United States the first Olympic gold medal in Women's hockey, Loverro tells the story of how the only girl playing a "boys-only" game in Downer's Grove, Illinois grew up to be a captain for the U.S. Olympic Team.The idea that Granato was a "Hockey Pioneer" is not far-fetched.Although she did not play in high school, because, of course, her high school did not have a girl's team, Granato earned a hockey scholarship at Providence.After graduation she played for four more years in Canada while going to graduate school at Concordia.While her older brother Tony became a right win for the San Jose Sharks of the NHL, Cammi became the best-known player in women's hockey.Loverro's quick paced biography covers all of Granato's accomplishments on the ice with plenty of statics and some nice quotes from the star herself.The book has lots of color photographs of Granato and a page of career highlights for those who love to consume statistics.This is an excellent sports biography for young readers, who will wish that similar books about other sports stars were half this good. ...

A Great Book
This book was great. It was adventure to read this book and the photos gave me a good vision of what happened in the book. I think it is a great book to read for baseball fans espicially and all other kids.Also, it shows a lot about his life, more than just Mo's baseball skills.But, I didn't rate it 5 stars because there were some bad things.I think the ending is really bad because it doesn't really conclude the story.Also, I think the story was too short, I had read it in 3 hours even though I am a fast reader.But, overall it was a decent book.

the bomb book!
i tink the book was exellent.i also think that matt christopher is a great auther.befor i read at the plate with mo vaughn i read on the court with michael jordan.i also thought that book was great.the thing i like about these books is that is tells all about there lives and how and what theyhad to do to get into the pro's. it also tells about how they didnt giveup.i think u should read this book and read on the court with michealjordan.

A great book that really tells you about Vaughn's life.
This book really shows how Mo Vaughn's childhood was, with lots of little stories about his life. It has great pictures and it really tells a lot. It's a great book for kids because it's easy to understand. ... Read more

Roller Skating Radials
I rated it 5 stars because I love hockey. Also because it was cool how they had a hockey team. I've tried that before and it's hard to start.

This book was great, I think the moral is that kids can make a stand and should fight for what they want!!

Roller Hockey Radicals is Awesome!
It's about Kirby and he moved to a different town. He wanted to find some friends. Eventually, found a roller hockey team called, " The E-Street Skates". It was exciting! It had a lot of info about roller hockey. This book was REALLY RADICAL! ... Read more

If you like Greg Maddux you like this book
The reason I chose this book is because Greg Maddux is a good player and one of my favorite players. Greg Maddux has won Cy young awards and many others. He's played for the Chicogo Cubs and one of my favorite's theAtlana Braves. He has been playing baseball for 18 years. First he was aout feilderand then a pitcher in the Major League Baseball. He was anoutfeilder in High school, too. I liked it when the author told me that Greg startedplaying baseball at the age of 20. I wouldrecomend thisbook to people who like Greg Maddux .The book is a sport book that tellsalot abouthow brave he was to start playing baseball at the age of 20. Hethought positive not negatively.

Michelle Kwan champion on ice
When Michelle was younger she wanted to be just like her older sister Karen. Karen was a skater so Michelle thought she had to be too, so she did. When Michelle became pro Karen was a little jealous because her sister had been winning more medals than her but she got over that. When Michelle was 15 she had one her first National Figure Skating Title. Ron (brother), was a hockey player he wanted nutting to do with skating but he did go to a couple of Michelle and Karnes competitions. The parents of those three were very happy parents; because of their children they also learned the part of being a teammate.
Beautiful book about a beautiful champion
This beautiful hardback book has gorgeous photos, and well written information concerning thebeautiful champion figure skater, Michelle Kwan. She has graced the ice with her mesermizing performances, and shown theworld how golden a champion can be with her extraordinary sportsmanship,integrity, and character. This book is written for young girls, but sowhat. This biography of Michelle Kwan, world-class figure skater, andworld-class sportswoman, is excellent reading for anyone with its lovelyphotos showcasing some of the most important events and people in her life.Her career and career goals are detailed more than personal life, and theultimate goal is highlighted throughout this book: be happy and do the bestone can. The author even thanks Michelle for being such a role model tomillions. I highly recommend this book for readers of all ages.

A very nicely done bio of America's ice sweetheart.
Very professionally done, perfect for all ages, fans of figure skating ornot.Kim Gatto tells of Michelle Kwan's life with class and grace thatMichelle herself would be proud of. Her account of the 1998 U.S.Championships, Michelle's career performance, is told wondefully. ... Read more
