Book review: Ferdinand Magellan"This dramatized account of Magellan's life and voyage may draw younger or less able readers with its graphic-style presentation. … the large, easy-to-read panels of art offer figures in period costume who pose and emote with rousing theatricality in depictions of the troubled expedition's hardships … and other major events described in the boxed passages of running commentary. … this entry in the Junior Graphic Famous Explorers series supplies the basic facts without looking like obvious assignment reading." - John Peters, Booklist
