(4) 4-6 RecordBooks series. These readable, if slight, volumes chronicle the histories of some of Canada's legendary athletes, from boxer George Chuvalo to multi-sport talent Lionel Conacher. Fighting presents the underdog-wins-gold story of Canada's 2006 Paralympic sledge hockey team. With their small trim size, short chapters, and smattering of black-and-white photographs, these accessible books may draw reluctant-reader sports fans. Glos., ind. Review covers these RecordBooks titles: Big Train, Fearless, Fighting for Gold, and Tough Guys.
