      Gr 4-6-Each book in this series begins with an excerpt from a game or race from an athlete's perspective, before moving on to an overview of each sport, its equipment and history, and ends with thumbnail sketches of noteworthy athletes. Straightforward prose is complemented by photos and diagrams, especially helpful in detailing equipment such as monoskis or delineating a sitting volleyball court. Paralympic competitions have grown to include athletes from around the world, including China's para swimmer Tao Zheng, who has won 10 medals after just two Olympics. Along with a glossary and resource list, each book includes three questions that focus on empathy, including: "Why is it important to offer opportunities for disabled people to compete in sports?" VERDICT These readable accounts offer concise introductions to these sports, and the inspiring athletes who compete in them.
