Middle Grade Review: Big Book of Who: Rising Stars

 



The set up: there is a question asked about each athlete
Each answer has a 1 to 2 page spread with picture and mini biography
The book is broke into sections: Next Generation, Phenoms, Record Breakers, Trailblazers, and Trendsetters 

There is a lot of information tucked into these pages, making it perfect for any sports fan. 

* this had many women athletes - except for Simone Biles.

I'm not much of a sports person, but I can see kids devouring this! And perfect timing with the Olympics coming up.

How interesting that they left Simone Biles out. :/ I wonder what that's about. Sounds like it's got a lot of bios in it, though. Thanks for sharing!

I'd seen other books in this series but this one was new to me. Thanks for featuring it on this week's MMGM.
