School Library Journal - 04/01/2020 Gr 2–4—This standout series handles para athletics with the care and consideration it deserves. Readers will learn that para athletics has different sport classes. These divisions are maintained to keep the events fair based on the athletes' impairments and how their individual impairments impact their ability to do their selected sport. Individual sports, like racing, cycling, archery, and the triathlon, can be done mostly alone, though some visually impaired athletes require a guide to race alongside them. Team sports are exciting too, whether it's sitting volleyball, five-a-side (which is soccer with a noisemaking ball for visually impaired athletes), or goalball (which is similar to soccer dodgeball). Water sports and wheelchair sports can be performed individually or with teams. Readers will be inspired by the amazing athletes who work hard and win medals for their performances. VERDICT An essential first purchase for all libraries. - Copyright 2020 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.

Booklist - 04/01/2020 This visually appealing volume in the Paralympic Sports series (4 titles) briefly describes several of the team sports played by athletes with disabilities in the Summer Paralympics. The rules of each sport are explained alongside action photos that illustrate the event. The book, which focuses on football, sitting volleyball, and goalball, explains the modifications made in each sport so that the playing field remains level among people with a range of abilities. Wheelchair basketball and rowing team sports are briefly mentioned as well. Questions and answers about the Paralympic Games are included throughout the book, and the back matter includes a glossary, further resources, websites to visit, and an index. Young readers looking forward to the 2020 Summer Paralympic Games in Tokyo will be inspired by these team sports. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.
