Horn Book (Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2011)

This series ostensibly highlights professional athletes' good works. The majority of each text is actually biographical information which, while not inaccurate, is nothing really new. Philanthropic work is usually touched upon at the end. Reluctant readers will appreciate the accessible writing style and sports photographs. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

Lebron King James is basketball's biggest breakout star since Michael Jordan. A true media superstar whose appeal transcends sports, his free-agent move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat rocked the news world in 2010. In addition to all of his accomplishments on the court, James has established the James Family Foundation to help children and single-parent families. Readers will love this narrative about this exceptional talent.
