艾爾西亞·吉布森是1940年代哈林區速度最快、個子最高、最無所畏懼的運動員。她總是靜不下來！只要她下定決心，這位飛毛腿女孩在每項運動中都稱霸——和男孩們打棍球、和女孩們打籃球、和任何願意陪她打的人打壁球。
但成為哈林區最快、最高、最無畏的選手，對艾爾西亞來說還不夠。她知道她能成為網球冠軍。
由於種族隔離，黑人不得在運動中與白人競爭。艾爾西亞不在乎。她只想和世界上最頂尖的運動員打網球。憑藉技巧與決心，她最終做到了，成為史上第一位——無論男女——贏得溫布頓獎盃的黑人選手。
The pacing captures her restless energy perfectly—my son kept interrupting to tell me facts about stickball and her fearlessness. It's the kind of biography that makes history feel alive, not like a school assignment.
My daughter read this in one sitting and immediately wanted to play stickball in the park. The way it captures Althea’s height and fearless attitude on every page made history feel alive for her.
The writing brings Althea’s restless energy to life so vividly, I could almost hear the stickball bouncing off the pavement. My son and I read it together and he kept asking “what happens next?” — a rare win for a biography.
