This elementary-level biography of Aly Raisman, Olympic gold-medal gymnast and advocate for athletes who were sexually abused by the USA Gymnastics team doctor, gives a simple overview of Raisman’s life and Olympic accomplishments. The sexual abuse is only mentioned. A better purchase for middle school libraries might be Raisman’s memoir, Fierce.
