From Library Journal:
As the youngest member of the 1984 Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. men's gymnastics team, Daggett may have realized a dream long before he thought he would. Stardom, injuries, and ultimately time kept him from making the 1988 Olympic team, but along the way he learned what dreams are made of and how to live his life beyond the gym. Written with the right amount of innocence, humor, irony, and suspense, Daggett's memoir will have great appeal for adult and YA sports fans.
