Editorial Reviews

"[E]ngaging and accessible to striving readers. . . . these titles provide an introduction to today's superstars in a fun, appealing format."—School Library Journal

From the Publisher

11/01/2022

Gr 3–6—These slim volumes profile the careers of celebrities from across pop culture, from music to acting to esports. The series is designed to appeal to upper elementary readers, from the eye-catching, pastel graphics on each page to the contemporary stars highlighted like Olivia Rodrigo and Harry Styles. While the short length makes the books light on content, they are engaging and accessible to striving readers. The text is written at a first grade reading level, and page layouts include one-to-two short sentences alongside images of the stars throughout their careers. A prompt for discussion is included at the end ("Zendaya stays true to her values. What are your values?). VERDICT While not comprehensive, these titles provide an introduction to today's superstars in a fun, appealing format.
