A candid look at basketball star Caitlin Clark, her history in sports as she grew up, her major achievements, and personal challenges she had to overcome to be a better player and teammate.

I thought this was a very fair look at Caitlin Clark. It both highlighted her amazing achievements, while also pointing out how she had to work on being a better teammate and not let her perfectionism and emotions bring others down.

This was a great book by one of the most intriguing players of the 21st century! She captivated audiences in college and continues to do so in the pros. Her ability to revolutionize the game with her extensive shooting range, competitiveness and overall basketball savviness has created millions of fans not just across America, but the entire world.

Honestly, I didn't watch women's basketball much through the years, but she definitely motivated me to tune in so I didn't miss anything!

This story is so cool in many ways and one story stuck out from her youth--her pouting. Her high school coach noticed she would do this and videotaped it and showed her, which forever changed the way she viewed and played the game as it enhanced her leadership tenfold!

I hope that Caitlin Clark continues to break records and becomes one of the greatest professional basketball players of all times. But I think this book is a little premature. With so much of her life and career ahead of her, it seems too early for a biography. She has done so much for women's sports, but let's allow her to excel and grow so that her story will truly shine in history.

Extremely short! This was basically a timeline of her life achievements, which was interesting. I felt like the author was trying to meet a word count minimum at the end providing a timeline of events that happened during her life.

I feel like they left out some things but that still didn’t make this bad. I also liked reading about Caitlin’s past and some things I didn’t know.
