Rebel Girls Champions is another wonderful addition ti the Rebel Girls collection. The stories of these amazing athletes, their determination and dedication, their grit and grace will fill young girls with exciting ideas and dreams if their own power and talents. The beautiful portraits, created by female artists, add to the overall empowering mood of the book. It’s a must have for the girls in your life.

All of the Rebel Girls books I've read so far have been well-written, informative, and beautifully designed, and this was no exception.
I love reading about women in sports even though I am not sporty or active in any way. I loved these interesting snippets and of course the beautiful illustrations.

I highly recommend this to everyone.

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead.

I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings.

Anything requested and approved will be read and a decent quality review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

As with the other books in this amazing series, Rebel Girls: Champions is sure to inspire and uplift. As always, I (re)discovered athletes who have paved their paths in various sports and it is truly amazing to read their stories. From familiar athletes like Serena Williams and Michelle Kwan to Tegan Vincent-Cooke (para dressage rider) and Charlotte Worthington (BMX cyclist), this book lets us meet athletes across the diaspora and be totally inspired.

Disclaimer: I got a digital review copy of this book from Netgalley originally and these are my honest opinions of the book. Please note that the review is based on a more recent reading of the book (library/personal copy)

Inspiring, like other Rebel Girls installations I’ve been opportune to read. I also really love the simplicity of the language used as well as the illustrations! Well done

This was a fab inspiring read! It is filled with the stories of 25 women who have achieved much in the world of sport. It is really important that the achievements of girls and women in sport are celebrated and shown to young girls to help prevent them from leaving sport when they reach their teenage years. This a beautifully illustrated book to help inspire young women and girl in sport.

I just realised that I never submitted feedback on this! Again, it's rebel girls. I had a blast. It was wonderful and educational and powerful as always.

Rebel Girls has made a name for itself by creating bright, colourful books which highlight the accomplishments or marginalized individuals who have made an impact on our world. While the stories of these amazing people don’t go into a lot of detail, they are a great way to introduce children to an array of greatness. This volume feels rushed, though, as though there was an attempt to capitalize on the Olympics. There aren't as many individuals listed, and many of those are included in previously published Rebel Girls books.

I shared this book with my younger sister and we both really enjoyed learning all about the fantastic female athletes through the years. Although I knew or had heard of a few of them already, it was great watching my sister find out about all of these strong, unique women. Another brilliant Rebel Girl book.

Rebel Girls Champions is a book that we all needed. I feel women's sports and women athletes never get the attention and recognition they deserve. Be it Cricket, Tennis, Hockey, Football or any other sport for that matter. While the men's team always end up bagging the best tv ads and sponsorship deals, no government ever thinks to invest in the women's sports teams or women playing that sport.

Having said that, this book was a breath of fresh air. Rebel Girls Champions gives us the story of 25 brilliant women athletes who should be hailed as heroes, nothing less. The unimaginable strength of these women and their indomitable spirit is inspiring.

The illustrations and the stories were perfect and I wanted more in the end. This is a book that's perfect for children and I won't stop recommending this for your little one & you.

I loved this book and highly would recommend it and the reason why was because all the amazing illustrations and stories. I got to learn more about many people I know and don't know about thanks to this book. I gave it five stars because this book was epically awesome.

This is a cute shortened version of the main "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls" series that focuses specifically on athletes and gives us the stories of twenty-five different ones. There's a variety of types of athlete and women from around the world are featured. I usually prefer the historical stories and a lot of these stories were young women at the heights of their careers, but I still enjoyed learning about them all, especially the ones I was less familiar with. Recommended!

My daughter absolutely loves these books. She has the full series and eagerly awaits their publication. The stories are entertaining and engaging; easily understandable without being babyish. Proper role models for modern girls.

As with the other collected versions of the Rebel Girls stories, this would be an excellent gift for any burgeoning young feminist. The brand has perfected its aesthetic and storytelling style and does a great job providing quick introductions to women throughout history. This volume is no exception and I like this collection's theme.

I received an eARC copy from Rebel Girls via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This instalment in the Rebel Girls series brings us short and sweet essays on magnificent female athletes and champions. I was positively surprised to see that it included the achievements of the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, keeping its stories up to date. The book shows how determination and perseverance bring wins and positive results in the end. Dedication and commitment take us to our goals, just like Rebel Girls Champions: 25 Tales of Unstoppable Athletes paves the way for future young athletes and their success in sport and life. Lead and inspire!
