The timing of this book is impeccable. What with the drama with Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham (mad respect for the vigilante WNBA girl's girl. ) My daughter is a basketball girl and she really enjoyed learning about a couple of different Fever players.

This will succeed as a book that can catch the eye of someone under the assumption reading non-fiction is not for them. For anyone else, well – it told me more about the lack of depth in American women's basketball for twenty of the last thirty years, as this seems to be about a team with one star player, that always faced the same set of teams at the same point in the season, albeit with varying results. I'm sure they have fans, but this isn't a tale of many glories – and it really is just for their supporters to get some background gen of the pre-covid years. A specialist read, then – perhaps the others in the series I'm hereby sampling are able to appeal more broadly, but I doubt it.

Indiana Fever is part of a book series created to spotlight the WNBA—and as a huge sports fan, I love that. It’s long overdue that we celebrate the incredible teams and athletes in the WNBA. Since its inception, the league has too often played in the shadow of the NBA, but books like this help change that narrative. Highlighting the team’s history and some of its biggest stars—such as Tamika Catchings and Caitlin Clark—young readers have the opportunity to learn a great deal about the team and its lasting impact.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advance copy.

This was a great biography of some of the women of the WNBA, with the main focus being on the Indiana Fever, but a look at the trajectories of various basketball players who played for or against the Indiana Fever. While Caitlyn Clark's star is on the rise, there have been many talented players before her and many players who will be inspired by her.

I highly recommend this biography for schools and libraries.

I fully understand that this book is meant for children. That’s why it was bothersome that a book named Indiana Fever only put a focus on Caitlin Clark and Tamika Catchings, and that it did so by dumping readers into a game without any warning or context. It basically felt like the author wanted to write a book about these two stars, instead of also including the entire team.

For their age group, it would have been better to start with the basic facts, then tell the story from beginning to end.

Also, this book won’t tell Caitlin Clark fans anything they don’t already know. Instead of getting into her childhood or other interests, the book relies solely on a game description. Rather disappointing, if I’m being honest.
