Book Review - Game Changer
📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
by Tommy Greenwald
An
incident at football camp has landed thirteen-year-old Teddy Youngblood in a
coma. His family, friends, and classmates support Teddy and his recovery by
flocking to his bedside and posting on an online page set-up for him. Teddy's
teammates say what happened to Teddy was an accident, but others think there is
more to the story. It doesn't help that some of the players are being slightly
suspicious.
Multiple
voices tell this story in various formats such as dialogue, texts, transcripts,
newspaper articles, and posting on social media. Readers will be turning the
page to find out what exactly happened to Teddy and if he will recover while
trying to put the pieces together themselves. Despite many of the character's
connection to football or questioning the safety of it, this is more than just
a sports story.

Book Review - Fierce
📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by
Aly Raisman
Two time Olympian Aly Raisman shares
journey to becoming an elite gymnast, her time at the 2012 Olympics including
her thoughts on her All-Around time, her journey to the 2016 Rio Olympics, and
the time in between. In addition to the positives in her life, Raisman talks
about dealing with the haters, the mental pressure she opposes upon herself,
and also touches upon the scandal with the former team doctor.
Fans of Aly Raisman and gymnastics
should NOT miss her wonderful memoir. Raisman is a positive role model and her
story can help young women and men even if gymnastics is not their sport.
