A review by wmcduff
The Bone Cage by Angie Abdou
4.0
I had heard about this book on this year's Canada Reads, but didn't get to it, but meeting Ms. Abdou at a library conference kicked my butt into action to start in on this. I'm glad I did.
Just in time for the Olympics, I was introduced to Sadie and Digger, two Canadians nearing the ends of their careers with one last chance to be an Olympian. The book highlights what's it like to be an Olympian in Canada in a non-prestige sport, and the sacrifices that athletes have to make to pursue a dream. Well-written, an excellent read while London celebrates.
