I read my grandson's summer readings to him because of his dyslexia. He was enthralled throughout. He said that he felt like we were watching a game and listening to a play by play. Well written and appealing to all. I love the game of basketball myself and felt i grew to know the man, Michael Jordan, as well as his accomplishments!

My 10yo son loves this book! I got tired of him asking for Jordan apparel without actually knowing who he is, so here we are. Now, he's interested in some of the big legends and asks for more books! I definitely can't complain about that!

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2010

My 11 year old son had to do an autobiography report for school and chose Michael Jordan, partially because the book was written by his favorite sports author, Matt Christopher. My son loves sports and enjoys reading all of the Matt Christopher books. This book contains interesting facts about the sports legend Michael Jordan and is written to hold the interest of a 6th grade kid.
