I don’t review middle grade books generally as I am an adult woman who does not work with children. However, I grew up in on UConn women’s basketball. I saw this on netgalley and thought what the heck. It’s a straightforward middle reader bio on Paige Bueckers. It talks briefly about her basketball stats, her trajectory through middle school, high school, and college, her “chemistry” with college teammate Azzi Fudd, and her battle with injuries.

Mostly, I want to say it makes me feel bittersweet that his book is a part of a collection of sports bios (men and women, mostly pros) and that Paige’s is the only woman athlete.

Thank you to netgalley and North Star Editions for a complimentary earc in exchange for an honest review.
