Grace, Gold and Glory
This book is about Gabbriel's life, and how she became famous. I like this book because its based on a true story. Brie's (is gabreielles nickname) sister taught her mass of tricks, because she did gymastics. When they finally got a chance to do gymastics brie's sister didnt want to, for some odd reason, but if she wanted to be in the olymipics like her sister she should have compited in the programs, but its a secret in this book and I think you should find it out.

On The Court With: Lisa Leslie
Matt Christopher's book about Lisa Leslie is not only a story about a girl who hated basketball and raised to the top of the charts. It is also about an Olympic team who changed America's outlook of women's basketball. That is why I give the book four stars. The only reason I didn't add the fifth star is because there were a couple of words that didn't fit with what they were describing, but that is just my opinion. Overall I think it is a great book.
