Shaun White

By Matt Doeden

Book Overview

Snowboarder Shaun White did a rarely seen move in his first qualifying halfpipe run at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy: he fell. But the nearly perfect athlete nailed his second run, then crushed the competition in the finals to win two Olympic gold medals.

Shaun White (Amazing Athletes)

I bought this book for my 10 year old to use for his Biography Project on Shaun White. The book was perfect for this project because it gave him very specific information about Shaun White (dates, awards, etc.) in a format that was easy for him to read and enjoy at the same time. Not an easy feat for us! He was very successful not only on the project, but scored 100% on the AR test for the book afterwards because he was able to retain the information. P.S. Shipping was fast and timely!
