      Highlighting Douglas's success as the first African American gymnast to win gold in the individual all-around event at the Olympics, this profile moves largely chronologically through its subject's life and career. The content-light text is easy to read and should appeal to new and reluctant readers. Many promotional-looking photos add to the books' teen-magazine appearance. Glos., ind.
