Review: Fun and entertaining - Great book. Funny and fun to read. Bought it for my son and he loved it Review: Simplistically yet captivatingly told stories that educate & inspire - I run a small nonprofit that promotes sport among lesser privileged girls, and we like books that are easy for kids to read, create a sense of awe through real & relatable drama and without being filled with facts, and normalize sport as a part of life for everyone across gender & economic strata. Matt ticks all these boxes so wonderfully, and does a great service by entertaining & educating at the same time. Hats off!
