If Susan Carol punches her ticket to the Olympics, she'll be a millionaire athlete almost overnight. That seemed impossible a year or two ago, but now Susan Carol, her father (Reverend Don Anderson), and her coach, Ed Brennan, are headed to Omaha, Nebraska for the Olympic Trials. Always a good swimmer, in recent months she has catapulted into the conversation of Americans who might compete in the 100- and 200-meter butterfly races at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. At age fifteen, Susan Carol has grown to six feet tall in the last year and added a lot of lean muscle.
Things are changing for Stevie and Susan Carol as book six in the series, Rush for the Gold: Mystery at the Olympics, opens.
With the first book released in 2005 and the final one in 2012, John Feinstein's debut series for kids, The Sports Beat, takes a passionate, nostalgic view of sport, following teenagers Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson as they learn the ins and outs of journalism by reporting on the most compelling athletic events of their era.
