Kobe Bryant is an unstoppable scorer. He can swish shots from long range or drive to the basket for a vicious dunk. Bryant once scored 81 points in a single game! He can also dish it to his teammates, rip down rebounds, or play lockdown defense. Despite all these amazing skills, one word describes him the best: champion. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has won five NBA titles since coming out of high school, and he has earned many individual awards. Author Stew Thornley highlights the all-time great career of this basketball champion.

      Gr 3-6-Everything about these titles has been updated through 2011, including the series name (the original editions were published as "Super Sports Star ___"). Written in classic, dramatic sports speak, these books will be popular because of the choice of subjects and the attractive layouts. The covers are an eye-catching and the frequent full-color photos are nicely captioned, but some lack clarity and are a bit blurry. The texts focus on the athletes' professional careers, with very little information about their personal lives. Occasional sidebars add additional interest, and each book ends with career statistics, the player's address, and a brief list for further reading.-Christina Dorr, Hilliard City Schools, OH

      These formulaic biographies feature accessible texts describing the careers of famous athletes and plenty of full-page color photographs. The open, non-intimidating pages and information that should satisfy book-report requirements recommend the titles for purchase. Difficulties some of the athletes have had (such as "personal problems" for Bryant and steroid use for Rodriguez) are acknowledged but not sensationalized. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
