"The series benefits from a diverse, contemporary set of subjects who will spark reader interest. . . .Though the volumes are short, each one packs in extensive biographical information. . . . .This series, directed toward middle graders, is an excellent choice for biographical research."

"Full-color photographs are interspersed with playful, doodlelike illustrations, and trivia blurbs are featured on each page. Notably, suggested activities are featured in each book. This versatile biography set is a fine choice for middle grade readers."
