Becoming Muhammad Ali by James Patterson, Kwame Alexander, and illustrator Dawud Anyabwile

“The fight is won before you get in the ring”—words of wisdom abounded as I learned what it took for Ali to become a great athlete and sports hero. Patterson and Alexander make this biography compulsively readable and absorbing. I love this book; it’s the best biography for middle grade I’ve ever read.
