Who is Amy Schneider? : questions on growing up, being curious, and winning it big on Jeopardy! / Amy Schneider, with Tanya Lee Stone.
"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?"--Provided by publisher.
