I love these biographies of athletes. My students will often love one of them and go on to read the others.

This book is of course, about the incredible basketball player Kevin Durant. All the books in this series, including this one, then spend most of the book describing the training and process which made the athlete great.. For students, who often want life to be easy, it is nice for them to be reminded of the hard work people have done to get to where they are. Throughout the book and at the end, there are graphic novel narratives, which are engaging and interesting to students.
