On The Court With...LeBron James (Matt Christopher Sports Biographies) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Outstanding. Unbelievable. Mindblowing. These are just a few of the words used to describe the talents of LeBron James. He was a sensation in his early days playing AAU ball in Akron, Ohio-and continued to amaze through his four years as a high school phenomenon. Now going into his fifth year as a star of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he is touted as the best player in basketball today. And for good reason: his dunks are monstrous, his no-look passes are things of beauty, his three-pointers seem effortless. But even more importantly, he is that one-of-a-kind superstar whose main goal isn't to rack up the stats-it's to make his team better.

Christopher does an amazing job of writing books for boys at that difficult age when it can be difficult to get them interested in reading. Of course his fiction is a go to item for boys ages 8-12, but with this book and his other biographies, he even keeps them captivated with nonfiction.My son's school recently began requiring a certain amount of the assigned reading to be nonfiction, so Christopher's biographies were a life-saver for me. My 10 year old sports fanatic loves them, especially this one about his favorite player, LeBron James.
Seriously, thank goodness for Matt Christopher. My third grader is a reluctant reader and finding books that really interest him have been crucial. Matt Christoper's books are awesome. Not only does my son enjoy reading these books but my husband and I want him to keep reading aloud because we're so interested in the topics! You rock Matt Christoper!
It was an interesting insight into the life of a man whose potential was clearly evident early on and has been honed in a very good way. He truly tried to being everyone else's game up by inspiring them with his own talent. Good Read!
This book is great! Matt Christopher knows how to write a book geared towards the new reader.Great book for your little on that loves basketball and learning to read. Or for yourself if you aren't the best reader.
Superstars thrill basketball fans and can keep them entertained for many hours. And growing up in Chicago this story reminds me of Michael Jordan, Superstar with the Chicago Bulls. So once again, Matt Christopher gives kids an exciting sport story with lots of action. Besides chalking up accolades LeBron James is more interested in making the team play better basketball than achieving personal gain. So there is something more to basketball than just being a superstar. Since my grandson would like this basketball story just like any other kid I give it five stars and I'm Marvin P. Ferguson, author of Boys On The Gold Coast.
My nephew (age 10 ) enjoyed reading this book. He loved the subject matter and still cherishes it some six months after he read it.
My almost 13 yr old son enjoyed this book abnout LBJ. He is a huge fan. I bought it because it was a MAtt Christopher...So I am pleased.
I bought this book for my grandsons because they admire LeBron James and will read anything relating to him and his basketball journey.
