Need an ‘epic’ book to get your reluctant boys to read? ( EPIC* is the series name.) This might just be the book you’re looking for a young boy who is interested in WWE wrestling.  Sheamus is highly visual with action shot photos reminiscent of baseball cards and is light on the text.  Five short sections: ‘Debut’, ‘Who is Sheamus?’, ‘Life Before WWE’, ‘A WWE Superstar’, and ‘Winning Moves’.

Sheamus grew in Ireland within a family of wrestling fans.“As a kid, he dreamed of being a famous wrestler.” ( p. 11) He played rugby and Gaelic football. Sheamus wrestled in a league in the British Isles. Now is a professional wrestle with the WWE  he has won the “King of the Ring” in 2010 and the “Royal Rumble” in  2012 ( young boys will know what these letters stand for, even if it is not revealed with the book’s text).

Includes: glossary, www.factsurfer.com, and index.

*“EPIC BOOKS are no ordinary books. They burst with intense action, high-speed heroics, and shadows of the unknown…”
