The Washington Mystics was founded in 1998, a year after the WNBA was formed. Since this time, they have gone all the way from last place in their first season to winning the championship in 2019. This team, based in the U.S. capital, features some of the best players in the sport of basketball today—including Ariel Atkins and Shakira Austin. The Mystics hope to bring the title back to the capital city again in the future. Part of the WNBA series, Washington Mystics tells the story of how this team made a name for itself in the league and how it has repeatedly made it into the playoffs.

Reviews and Awards for Washington Mystics

"Having enough sports books to satisfy my middle school readers can be a challenge! This book on the Washington Mystics is sure to pull in basketball players and fans. I love that it is on one of the women’s teams in basketball. The book is well organized with clear, readable text with only 1-2 paragraphs per page. The four chapters highlight their championship winning season, the team’s history, their winning coaches and some of the famous players. The book includes a table of contents, a glossary, an index, fun trivia facts, and resources to dig further into the topic. I also liked that the more challenging vocabulary was highlighted & those words corresponded to the words in the glossary. Photos are included throughout the book, with identifying captions. Also included are “Fun Facts” scattered throughout the pages adding extra information to the main text."

Basketball has long been one of the most popular sports in the United States. In 1997, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) formed to give female players a league in which to play the sport at the professional level. Starting with eight teams, the WNBA has expanded over time—with several new teams joining the WNBA, some franchises disbanding, and three teams still playing in their original cities. WNBA is a fun and informative book series about the women’s pro basketball league. With striking color photographs, a fun Slam Dunk WNBA Trivia section, and a useful index, this series discusses the past, present, and future of the now twelve teams that draw fans to women’s basketball games each season.
