Gr 2-4–The “All-Star Smackdown” series delivers action-packed match-ups between top athletes in a variety of sports. Each book opens with an introduction and then launches into three fast-paced chapters that explore the background, rise to fame, career highlights, and standout stats of each featured player. While these two players are not contemporaries, Edwards, a shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, watched and admired Wade, who last played as a shooting guard for the Miami Heat and is now the co-owner of the Utah Jazz. Edwards modeled his style of play after Wade, often drawing comparisons. A final chapter pits the two stars against each other in a fantasy face-off, sparking debate among fans. High-energy photos, bold graphics, and exciting facts bring each athlete’s story to life.
VERDICT A slam dunk for any sports collection—this series will have readers racing to pick up the next title.
