Great Pro Sports Championships - School Library Journal
Gr 5-8–This hi-lo series gives readers exciting sports writing about some of the best games ever played. In Great FIFA World Cup Matches, readers will be thrilled by the play-by-play calling of the 1986 World Cup featuring legendary Argentinian Diego Maradona and inspired by the Women’s World Cup win by Japan after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. NFL Super Bowl Championships includes some of football’s greatest hits, like the New York Giants defeating the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and John Elway finally winning at Super Bowl XXXII after three previous heartbreaking losses. Each book begins with an “At a Glance” bulleted list of highlights from the reading, which should help readers with their recall should they have a need to book talk or report on what they read. With plenty of white space on the page, the narrative-style text is inviting and exciting.
VERDICT For most middle school and public libraries, this one’s a keeper.
