‘fun … both biographies are full of words of wisdom and inspiration for any budding athlete. Saying that, the right balance between sporting endeavours and the challenges of life beyond, enhance the appeal of the series to children without a significant interest in sport. For teachers, books of this genre will help you address the potential fiction/non fiction imbalance in your classroom and school libraries … it can only be hoped that these books are the first of many in this series
