Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Winning Every Day
Shannon Miller · 1998
72/100
👍 Worth It
Shannon Miller's Olympic credentials are the real anchor here — she has earned the right to talk about goal-setting, pressure, and resilience, and Publishers Weekly confirms the energy is contagious even if relentlessly upbeat. The Christian faith content is open but not preachy, and the practical tools — lists, recipes, anecdotes — give tweens something to actually use. Families comfortable with faith-positive content will find this genuinely motivating for young athletes.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Christian faith content prominent throughout — appropriate for faith-friendly audiences, may not suit secular readers. We still scored it 72; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
