Reviews
“Far juicier and more revealing that more usual pious sports biographies.”
--Publishers Weekly“Another winner in a consistently fine series.”
--Booklist“Krull hits another home run.”
--American Bookseller“While readers will find out about the subjects’ most prodigious physical feats, it’s what else they’ll learn about them that propels this title above most other books published in this subject area.”
--School Library Journal
