Julie Krone: Unstoppable Jockey (Achievers)
Grade 4-6?These titles detail the athletes' early years and continue through their break into prominence and up to the present day. The information seems to be drawn from newspaper and magazine accounts, but is not documented. While extolling their subjects' virtues, both authors show that the road to fame is not always smooth. Full-color and black-and-white photographs, many of them action shots, enhance the texts. A chart of career highlights concludes each book. These series entries will be appreciated by readers who want to know just a bit more than is found in the "Sports Star" series (Children's).?Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VACopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
