Synopsis

From the prolific Pulitzer Prize-nominated Muslim reporter Dr. Seema Yasmin comes the second book in the exciting nonfiction Muslim Mavericks chapter book series, about Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah.From Somaliland to the Olympic arena, there's no distance Mo can't go! At the age of eight, Mo Farah moved across the world from Somaliland to London. It was difficult starting over in a new country, especially since he spoke very little English. But fortunately for Mo, running was a language everyone understood. Once he started, he never stopped—smashing records and winning championships. Now, with four Olympic gold medals and six World titles, he is considered one of the most successful male track distance runners ever!
