Randy’s Corner is a new series intended to introduce young readers to biographies.  While I don’t actually consider this to be a biography, but instead the life, ‘day by day,’ as it’s billed, of a sports celebrity.  This book will be popular with basketball players, especially boys, who are reluctant readers.  While the book may get them to read, I’m not so sure about a couple of things mentioned in the book: first off, he has two children with a girlfriend he has dated since high school–are they still dating?  Or are they a family?  And, secondly, he says he hasn’t changed one bit–how about asking the people around him what they think?  I believe that having millions of dollars at your disposal does change a person, so how is he excluded?  I understand that young readers won’t zero in on these details, but still, it gets in their heads and stays there.  Are these ideals that we want kids to come away with?
