Tenacious brings together fifteen profiles of disabled athletes, including a blind downhill skier, a seated adaptive surfer, and a wheelchair motocross competitor. Their sports and achievements—among them medals, records, mountain climbs, and championships—sit alongside details of daily life, such as one athlete’s struggles with math. The collection frames athletic accomplishment in relation to both adaptive equipment and the varied experiences of the people who use it, offering a nonfiction portrait that includes challenges as well as successes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in sports and athlete profiles
