Featured in the New York Times“A book that will thrill your future Olympian long after the games are over.”—Terri Schlichenmeyer, The Bookworm Sez“Steinfeld's cartoon scenes, which are as upbeat as the narratives, place the budding international stars amid physically and racially diverse groups of family members and fellow competitors or in climactic victory poses.
