This was a fairly accessible read about the fight Megan's experience as an openly gay professional soccer player and the fight for equal pay for the US Women's National Team. I have several students who will enjoy this book!

I appreciated the blend of the author's soccer accomplishments and insights as a professional athlete, presented alongside experiences growing up, forming their identity, and engaging in social activism on a variety of fronts. It's been one memorable life for Megan Rapinoe thus far, and I felt grateful as a reader to share some of it in this form.

I had no idea the extent of Rapinoe's activism, and how much she is using her celebrity for good. Her soccer story is fascinating and sure to inspire young readers. Starting with her childhood of playing on boys' teams with her twin sister since there were no girls' teams to her experiences on the US National Team, Rapinoe shares the ups and downs of being a professional athlete. She does not shy away from difficulties that she faced in both her personal and professional life. This adaptation of her memoir is not updated to include any information of the Summer Olympics that are on right now, though I am rooting for her more than ever. Highly recommended for grades 5 & up.
