      Gr 4-6-Highlighting a range of popular women's sports, this series documents the origins, major events, and current state of each one. In addition to star athletes, the basic rules and game play of each are covered. For sports with no professional leagues, such as field hockey, alternative means for continuing to play after high school or college are mentioned (e.g., the Olympics). Basketball is notable for its inclusion of Paralympic wheelchair basketball players. Perhaps most important, each book dedicates space to the significance of teamwork and good sportsmanship on and off the field.
