Bound To Stay Bound

School Library Journal - 04/01/2025 Gr 2–5—The careers of seven young athletes are chronicled in these informative volumes. Basketball player Anthony Edwards was the top high school player in the nation, while basketball star Caitlin Clark holds the college record for most points scored. Los Angeles Clippers' rookie Shai Gilgeaus-Alexander scored more points than any other rookie, football player CeeDee Lamb scored three touchdowns in one game while at University of Oklahoma, and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson rushed for 1,571 yards while attending the University of Louisville. Young professional tennis player Naomi Osaka defeated Serena Williams at the US Open and baseball player Julio Rodríguez was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2022. While only the barest personal details are presented on each subject, fans will nonetheless enjoy the narratives and pictures of their idols. The currency of these volumes will attract the subjects' enthusiastic supporters, but as these athletes are still in mid-career, the titles will quickly become dated. VERDICT The popularity of these athletes means there is a demand, and selectors should consider purchasing. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
