Khalil Mack: Football Dominator

Matt Chandler

As a kid Khalil Mack loved basketball, not football. He didn't even start playing football until his senior year of high school. That season he racked up 140 tackles, an amazing total. From then on, football became Mack's focus, and he proved to be a force on the gridiron. In the National Football League, he was named defensive player of the year in 2016, and today he is widely recognized as one of the most dominant players in the pro game. It's easy to see why in this engaging, hard-hitting biography.

Praise for this book

This snappy series provides bios of current big-name athletes. The overviews offer an in-depth look at each athlete's rise to fame, including their early life and preprofessional play. For soccer star Alex Morgan and snowboarding phenom Chloe Kim, the author touches briefly what they plan to do after their sports career is over (they can't compete forever, after all). Readers may be surprised to learn that NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who grew up poor in Greece, sent all his money to his family overseas during his rookie season. After Super Bowl LIV, Patrick Mahomes books will be in great demand (and will be slightly outdated). The writing is solid in each book and with stars like these, you can't go wrong. VERDICT Well-written options, so pick what will be popular in your community.--Abby Bussen, Muskego Public Library, WI "School Library Journal"
