'fun ... both biographies are full of words of wisdom and inspiration for any budding athlete. Saying that, the right balance between sporting endeavours and the challenges of life beyond, enhance the appeal of the series to children without a significant interest in sport. For teachers, books of this genre will help you address the potential fiction/non fiction imbalance in your classroom and school libraries ... it can only be hoped that these books are the first of many in this series * InTouch Magazine * amazing new series * Dungarvan Observer * something for the young reader with a passion for GAA * Enniscorthy and Gorey Guardian, New Ross Standard, and Wexford People * I found this book to be awe-inspiring, motivating, encouraging and very enjoyable. It gives a great insight into the life of a great Irish Sports Star. The author Donny Mahoney, shows how a humble, hard-working young boy can do great things if he follows his dreams. I would recommend this book to all members of the family as the parents/older siblings could read it to their brothers or sisters or friends. I believe it would also be a great read for all sports fans, no matter what county or club they support. I would rate this book 10/10 because I found it to be encouraging to all who feel they may not be able to achieve their dreams. With passion, hard work, focus and determination, they can - Alex, 5th Class, Killaloe BNS, Co.
