Good afternoon.  I'm on a hunt for great books where the main character is a sports figure.  These books will be used in a new Sports Literature class here at Nonnewaug.  Please send any recommendations my way.  The class has a variety of reading abilities, so any books from an 8th - 12th grade reading level would be appreciated.  Thanks very much!
