Beyond the Gameis a new nonfiction chapter book series about athletes who have stepped up beyond sports to make a difference in the world, from acclaimed author Andrew Maraniss. This is the story of WNBA star Maya Moore and her social justice work.

Before she became one of the most famous basketball players on the planet, before she began speaking out for prison reform, Maya Moore was just a kid.

In this chapter book biography by acclaimed author Andrew Maraniss, listeners learn more about the life and work of Maya Moore—from growing up with a single mother in Jefferson City, Missouri, to her journey to becoming a star player at UCONN and the WNBA, to her social justice fighting for prison reform and speaking up for Black Lives Matter.

While known as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Maya Moore has changed the world beyond sports.

Complete with resources and ways for kids to make a difference on their own, Beyond the Game is an inspirational series for every listener. Activistes sociaux Biographies Sports et loisirs

"With wide-spaced lines of text and attractive, digital illustrations in black and white, the books in this series will appeal to young readers with an interest in basketball and how some of its brightest stars are using their wealth and influence to improve the lives of others. This series’ dual purpose offers a refreshing shift of emphasis from the usual sports biographies."--Booklist Reviews

". . . Maraniss commends her particularly here for suddenly retiring in 2019 to campaign for the release of Jonathan Irons, a Black man who at age 18 was unjustly convicted by an all-white jury of burglary and assault and sentenced to 50 years in prison. . . 'Anyone can make a difference,' he closes. 'And everyone should try' . . . message-driven but centered on a well-chosen example."--Kirkus Reviews
