Review

Amy Wambach's "Forward: A Memoir" in the Young Reader's edition format is a brutally honest look at her life on and off the soccer field. Two-time Olympic medalist and former forward for the U.S. Women's National Soccer team shares her struggles and successes on what made her the champion that she is today.

This book is a quick read and does discuss in detail her relationships with other women. The jacket cover does open up to become a poster with her autograph on it. Young girls will enjoy the inspiration that is the main theme of the book. Recommended for grades 7-9.

Overall Book Score: good
