Reinberger Review
Not just for sports fans! Phil Bildner’s storytelling genius pulls the reader in with a riveting rivalry between Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Bildner doesn’t overload the reader with a ton of information, but offers enough to inform the reader about the history of these frenemies. In the back of the book, the reader will find additional information with timelines. What enhances the story even more are the captivating oil and acrylic illustrations by Brett Helquist. His choice of colors, almost a theme of blues against yellow throughout the book, both divide yet pull together the characters with the warm hues
