SERIES REVIEW: These series biographies introduce mid-elementary readers to interesting people. Readers may already know something about the person, but these titles will help provide more details about their lives and contributions. Each title quickly covers their early years, before spending more time on what led the person to become well-known, how they have impacted the world, and what the future may look like. Photographs (b&w and color) are sprinkled throughout the text, along with a few text boxes providing a little more detail on specific topics. Good coverage, with enough information for research and reports.
