SLJ Review of Sports VIPs

The careers of popular, active athletes are presented in these eight informative volumes. Readers learn that Jalen Hurts was NFC Offensive Player of the Month in 2020, linebacker Micah Parsons led Penn State in tackles in 2018, hockey player Sarah Nurse helped Canada win gold at the Olympics, Connor David competed for the Erie Otters at age 15. Serbian national Nikola Joki’s basketball skills got him drafted- by the Denver Nuggets whom he led to the NBA championship, Sophia Smith was the first Black woman named National Women’s Soccer League’s player of the year, Travis Kelce helped the Chiefs win multiple Super Bowls, and Trevor Lawrence was instrumental in the Jaguars’ winning the AFC South division title in 2022. Color photographs of the players in action complement the texts, which will delight their fans. Little information on their private lives is provided, except for parents, siblings, and charitable causes. For instance, there is no mention of Kelce’s relationship with singer Taylor Swift. This will not deter fans’ interest in these people. One major problem is all these volumes will be quickly dated as the athletes are still in the prime of their careers. VERDICT These are suitable titles for young fans craving information about their favorite athletes and should be considered where there is a heavy demand.
