Booklist - Julia Smith

"A gripping sports-writing style pulses through the Sports Illustrated Kids: Heroes and Heartbreaks series, which gives exciting play-by ­play accounts of unexpected victories and unfathomable failures in the world of sports. One of the series' biggest strengths is the sheer variety of sports represented in its pages. . . .There's never a dull moment in these books, which showcase the value of perseverance, hard work, joy, and humility." - Booklist
