A young readers edition of the inspirational and bold memoir from the most successful woman ever to compete on Jeopardy --and an exploration of what it means to ask questions of the world and of yourself. In eighth grade, Amy Schneider was voted "Most likely to appear on Jeopardy " by her classmates. Decades later, she finally got her chance. Not only did Amy walk away with $1.3 million while captivating the world with her impressive forty-game winning streak, but she made history and won an even greater prize--the joy of being herself on national television and blazing a trail for openly queer and transgender people around the world. Now, she shares her singular journey that led to becoming an unlikely icon and hero to millions. Her superpowers: boundless curiosity and fearless questioning. Who Is Amy Schneider? shows kids that there isn't a right way to be smart nor a wrong way to learn, that curiosity fuels passion, and that discovering your true self begins with asking yourself why?
