Gr 5-9-- These three men have in common incredible natural abilities paired with the determination to make it as professionals. Herschel Walker doesn't drink or smoke, and is a soft-spoken giant who says ``sir'' to his coaches. John Elway, the golden boy, had to tame an unruly temper and an overdeveloped competitive streak to become a team player. And Bo Jackson was a wild teen destined for trouble until sports became his salvation. Each of these biographies, illustrated with black-and-white photos, focuses on the athlete as a whole person--childhood, family, disappointments, and triumphs. With the huge demand for books on current athletes in mind, grab these quickly--and don't expect to see them on the shelf again for a long time. --Deirdre R.
