"Rebel Girls Champions: 25 Tales of Unstoppable Athletes" is a vibrant and inspiring addition to the *Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls* series, spotlighting 25 female athletes whose grit and achievements resonate with young readers. Each story is crafted in fairy-tale form, drawing young readers into the worlds of celebrated athletes like Megan Rapinoe, Simone Biles, Chloe Kim, and a host of other game-changers. This collection blends tales of the well-known and up-and-coming stars, providing a broad spectrum of sports and backgrounds. While created for young audiences, the stories touch on racial and gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and refugee crises. These themes are woven seamlessly into each athlete’s narrative, highlighting the obstacles they faced and the victories they achieved. It’s empowering for readers, giving them a broader understanding of the resilience needed in sports and beyond. One of the best features of this collection is the diverse, visually stunning artwork created by female artists worldwide.

This is a perfect addition to any school or home library, especially for young readers who might be curious about sports or simply in need of a confidence boost. The collection also feels refreshingly current, including anecdotes from the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, which adds a modern and relatable edge.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

It feels great to read stories about inspiring women in sports. I would love to have a physical copy of this book to read it to my child and to remind me about dreams coming true! If I would have this copy when I was a young girl, it might have inspired me to pursue sports as well or believe in reaching big dreams like the women in the story!

I love that the stories are concise and diverse. I also like the illustrations as it gives visual representation and life to the story Overall, I truly enjoyed this read.

What I regret about this book is that it took me so long to start this!

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls Inc. for this Advance Reading Copy.

As always a great Rebel Girls book. I have read a bunch of them now and they are all equally amazing. Love the illustrations!

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)

We loved reading about these awesome champions and exploring different sports and Olympic related events as an extension to this.
Another fabulous rebel Girls book, jam packed with sporting role models for every girl,

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.

Another great addition to the rebel girls collection. I really enjoy these books and the women that they showcase. I always love seeing these bad ass women who have helped shape the world.

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.

Rebel Girls books are some our favourite books. My daughter is so inspired by the people she reads about. She has chosen women from the books to written school projects on. l will recommend these books to anyone who will listen.

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.

Another fantastic read all about Rebel Girls! Thank you so much NetGalley for sharing these amazing stories with me.
