In 1975 two legends of boxing met in the ring for the third and final time. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier had already clashed in two previous bouts, with each claiming a victory. But in this final titanic match in Manila, The Philippines, the two men would battle for 14 grueling rounds to become the Heavyweight Champion of the world. The fighters gave everything they had to defeat one another. In the end, Ali was declared the winner, but both were ready to concede defeat. Readers will have a ringside seat to one of the most iconic moments in sports history and watch as two legendary fighters go toe-to-toe in boxing's greatest bout.

      Gr 4-6-Legendary moments in U.S. sports history are brought to life. Each author sets the scene before diving into the main topic. For example, Lake Placid Miracle includes an overview of the Cold War and Russia's history of dominance in hockey at the Olympics, as well as biographies of coaches and athletes on the U.S. hockey team. Infrequent direct quotes are in bold and italics, but with so many of the events having occurred in the last century, readers may wonder why more weren't included. Critical thinking questions at the end of each book encourage students to dive deeper. The low level of detailing in the comic illustrations and the simple story lines make these ideal for browsers, not researchers. VERDICT Where collections are in need of more options for reluctant nonfiction readers, these will fit the bill. Otherwise, pass.
