This breathless biography commences with a detailed look at Serena's first grand slam victory. Morgan continues with a chronological account of the tennis stars' climb to fame starting with their early childhood and ending with their victories at the 2000 Olympics. References to the importance of education seem tacked on. Color action photos punctuate the chapters. Glos., ind.

Three new entries in the series, spotlighting stars of volleyball, football, and basketball, join a revision of a previous volume on Wayne Gretzky. The books strike a good balance between personal and professional information, though the coverage is never very deep. Gretzky is illustrated with black-and-white photos; the other books are chiefly illustrated in color. A section of sports stats concludes each volume. Glos., ind.

These well-written biographies present in-depth profiles of contemporary sport stars. The development of their impressive careers is coupled with engaging and often humorous personal stories. The books are packed with black-and-white and color photographs, from current action shots to childhood portraits--including prom pictures of Bledsoe and Jeter. Bib., glos., ind.
