About This Book
Reach for this book when you have a reluctant reader who is obsessed with the spectacle of sports entertainment but feels overwhelmed by dense blocks of text. It is a perfect bridge for children who find confidence in physical strength and larger than life personas, yet struggle to find literature that mirrors their interests. This high interest, low vocabulary nonfiction title profiles the legends of the ring, from Hulk Hogan to The Rock, emphasizing the hard work and unique identities that made them famous. While the subject matter focuses on wrestling, the underlying themes are about self confidence and the resilience required to reach the top of a profession. Written at a highly accessible level for ages 7 to 11, this book allows kids with learning differences or reading anxiety to successfully finish a chapter book. It serves as an ego booster for the child who wants to participate in playground sports talk but needs a little extra support with their literacy skills.
