Mountain Biking (Extreme Sports)

Mountain Biking (Extreme Sports)

This exciting book introduces readers to mountain biking, including its history and growth, rules and events, and the equipment athletes need. Short paragraphs of easy-to-read text are paired with plenty of colorful photos to make reading engaging and accessible. The book also includes a table of contents, fun facts, sidebars, comprehension questions, a glossary, an index, and a list of resources for further reading. Apex books have low reading levels (grades 2-3) but are designed for older students, with interest levels of grades 3-7. "For readers whose athletic interests are a little more extreme, this hi-lo series will get their adrenaline pumping." --School Library Journal Meg Gaertner is a childrenÕs book editor and writer.
