Wonderlit Review

"Power Passers" offers a concise, engaging look at six top quarterbacks from the 2013 football season. This nonfiction chapter book highlights key attributes like strong arms, leadership, and football intelligence, making it an excellent resource for young sports enthusiasts. It handles its subject matter directly, celebrating athletic prowess and strategic thinking without delving into complex personal narratives. The emotional arc is largely celebratory and informative, designed to inspire and educate. This book is specifically for children aged 4-11 who have an interest in football and are curious about what makes star players excel. Parents might reach for this when their child shows an interest in sports, particularly football, or when looking for high-interest nonfiction for reluctant readers. No specific scenes require previewing, and its straightforward approach makes it accessible. Younger readers (4-7) will enjoy it as a read-aloud, focusing on the exciting aspects of the game and the players' skills, while older readers (8-11) can read it independently and appreciate the details about leadership and strategy. Its focus on specific players from a particular season gives it a unique, time-capsule feel compared to more general sports books.
