School Library Journal - 04/01/2026 Gr 2–4—The newest titles in this ongoing series continue the familiar format of comparing two high-profile athletes to examine whose career had the greater impact. Each book introduces both athletes, explores their early lives, highlights major accomplishments, and compares key statistics to support the discussion. This season's matchup Shohei Ohtani vs. David Ortiz is likely to be especially popular, driven by Ohtani's current visibility and appeal with young readers. Football, basketball, and soccer titles are also featured this season, maintaining the series' broad sports coverage. The writing is clear, direct, and fact-focused, making the content easy to follow. Bold layouts, full-page photographs, and strong graphics help sustain interest and make these books accessible to reluctant readers. VERDICT A strong addition for collections serving sports fans and students drawn to high-interest nonfiction. - Copyright 2026 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
