Michelle Kwan: Skating Like the Wind (Figure Skaters) Reviews:
Michele Kwan will always be a champion
1998-03-30 - Even though this book is kind of short, it gives great insight on the figure skater, Michele Kwan. There are also a few tidbits of information about other skaters in the book, and I highly recommecnd this book to any beginner skating fan. This book shows that even though Michele didn't win gold at the Olympics, she'll always be a champion in the eyes of many people around the world. A classy skater like Michele is not to be taken advantaged of.

A young readers book about a young skater
1998-03-25 - This is an excellent book for young readers around ages 7 - 10. It tells the story of Michelle Kwan's life up until the end of the 1997 season. The book includes an easy to understand glossary of skating terms. There are lots of quotes from Kwan and pictures tracing her growth from tiny tot to World Champion. The book stresses Kwan's work ethic and her devotion to her family which makes her one of the best role models for children. Though easy to read the book does offer a few vocabulary challenges for the young reader that would help them to expand their reading skills. The book is good for young fans of Kwan, and may make them more interested in reading.
