Not sure, she just rubs me the wrong way. I think turning down a visit with the president was not the best way to handle the situation. She could have gone and met with people to get her causes highlighted and make connections but instead it felt like she threw a tantrum instead of being a grown up about it...

This was informative, quick, and fun!

I wish Who HQ had a little more variety or offerings. I needed a book about soccer for my reading challenge, and was surprised that there wasn't a book on Mia Hamm. I obviously enjoyed this book but think there should be more female athletes covered.

Not completely correct.
Political agenda promoted.
I do not recommend.

This is a pathetic little book designed for elementary school students. Tell us nothing about Megan Rapinoe but goes over her scoring some. It was only like 12 pages and I was bored.

Okay I know that this is a book for children, but I think that children deserve to read more interesting biographies.

This is a great book for a soccer fan or any body who's interested. It is also perfect because I it read during the 2023 women's world cup.#lets go team USA 🇺🇸. It also tells you everything you could want to know about Megan Rapinoe.
