Although completely professional and fiercely competitive, the sisters remain close. Who Are Venus and Serena Williams? follows the pair from their early days of training up through the ranks and to the Summer Olympic Games, where they have each won four gold medals--more than any other tennis players. This title in the New York Times best-selling series has eighty illustrations that help bring the exciting story of tennis champs Venus and Serena Williams to life.

I really enjoyed this book. It told me everything in detail. This book is great for any type of reading. From just reading for fun, to reading for researching. It is truly a gem! For some reason in the middle of the book, but it was still amazing. ( I just thought it was boring , not really a legible reason not to get this book.)
