This action-packed series highlights eight of these sports, including their history and growth, rules and events, and the equipment athletes need. Short paragraphs of easy-to-read text are paired with plenty of colorful photos to make reading engaging and accessible. Each book also includes a table of contents, fun facts, sidebars, comprehension questions, a glossary, an index, and a list of resources for further reading.
