This biography profiles the life and career of Shaun White.  It starts with the medical troubles he faced as an infant and continues his life story up to the present.

Shaun White is a positive role model and the writer does an apt job of highlighting all of Shaun’s good qualities – perseverance, compassion, determination, generosity and friendliness. Most upper elementary students will enjoy this book, with career stats, a glossary, additional reading titles, available websites for further reading, contact information for writing to Shaun and even his Twitter page.

The writing is on level for 4th-6th graders, told in third person.  One section makes an unexpected transition to first person and seems a bit jarring.  It will make the reader look to see if a page was overlooked.  Other than that, this is an interesting read.
