Horn Book (Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2017)

Black-and-white full-page illustrations accompany these hi-lo stories involving talented athletes in lacrosse (Laser) and track and field (Shot). The message-laden texts highlight the importance of fair play and focus to achieve team victory and accomplish personal goals. The engaging, action-packed stories should appeal to sports enthusiasts. Each book is supplemented by background on the sport, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Glos.
