Nancy Kerrigan: Heart of a Champion

by Mikki Morrissete

As a young girl, Nancy Kerrigan had a dream: to  become a world-class figure skater. With the  support of her father and her mother, who is legally  blind, she skated into the spotlight by winning a  bronze medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics and a gold  medal at the 1993 National  championships.



Then disaster struck.



A  frightening attack before the 1994 National  championships injured her knee and threatened her Olympic  hopes. But with courage and determination, Nancy  battled back to compete at the 1994 Winter Olympics.  Win or lose, Nancy Kerrigan has the heart of a  champion. This is her inspiring story.

[Surreysmum · Rating 2 out of 5]

"A Sports Illustrated for Kids Book." Another entry in the February-March 1994 publishing frenzy, this one aimed squarely at kids. As such, it contains lots of parenthetical explanations of hard words, and far too many exclamation marks.

I'm just kidding, I've never read this book.
