A Sporting Chance tells the story of Ludwig Guttmann, the creator of the Paralympics. With a mix of biographical information about Ludwig and brief glimpses of paraplegics through history, this book weaves together the practical and medical reasons that the Paralympics came to be. This book is text with archival photos and is great for the 9-11 age range. I would recommend this for and Junior nonfiction section.
