From Booklist

Though it is unlikely that any kid could master such highly complicated pastimes solely with the help of a 32-page book, the Master This! series nonetheless has value in how it reveals that seemingly freewheeling endeavors actually require intense dedication and work. Each volume covers a lot of ground quickly and relies on helpful photos or illustrations to make the most of the short page length. Wrestling ignores so-called pro wrestling to focus on the preparation, posture, and moves necessary to push your opponent outside the “passivity zone.” Throughout the series, boldface words are defined in a glossary, and boxes break out factoids, including “Star File,” which focuses on famous names. A great way to kindle the interest of students ready to put in some serious time. Grades 4-6. --Daniel Kraus
