YAXtreme Athletes series.
A snowboarder's youthful enthusiasm is captured in White. Slater details the popular surfer's swift ascent in his sport. Beckham chronicles the very public soccer star's career. Each title includes the subject's successes and failures, but these are laudatory tributes to these impressive athletes. Stock photographs accompany the texts. Informative sidebars often interrupt the narrative flow. Timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Xtreme Athletes titles: David Beckham, Kelly Slater, and Shaun White.
