Dominique Moceanu: A Gymnastics Sensation
Gr 4-7--Quiner's account of the young gymnast's development as a world-class competitor clearly describes the persistence, drive, and determination of the United States' youngest gold medal winner. Written in a knowledgeable and engaging style with quotes from the subject's coaches, parents, teammates, and competitors, the text allows readers to gain insight into both the individual and the sport. A 24-page insert of good-quality black-and-white photographs shows Moceanu in action. The rewards and sacrifices necessary to follow this lifestyle will interest readers wanting to know about Olympians and/or gymnasts.Janice C.
