In many ways this is a Pulitzer Prize winner given the superior storytelling. We immerse into the world of skull racing which eventually takes us to the Berlin Olympics during the Nazi occupation. While not focused entirely on Joe Rantz, his story inspires by his ability to become mentally tough, find joy and be compassionate while learning the underlying elements of teamwork. Fast paced, illuminating and well crafted, this is a book that opens our eyes, hearts and minds to possibility. Highly recommended!
