Gr 4–8—The lives of an eclectic mix of famous people and one environmental movement are chronicled in these six titles. Readers learn about King Charles's life including his difficult childhood, Dwayne Johnson's success as a wrestler and actor, Adele's astronomical rise to stardom as a singer, Ketanji Brown Jackson's road to the Supreme Court and The Sunrise Movement's formation and accomplishments. Also, readers will become acquainted with the inspirational life of the late entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker. Employing direct prose, the authors neatly convey relevant facts in each of the subjects' lives from birth until the current day. There are no discernible errors except in the volume on Jackson where a former Speaker of the House of Representatives is referred to as a Senator. Charles's coronation is anticipated: "…his coronation at Westminster Abbey that happened the following year." While the volumes on Charles, Adele, Johnson, Jackson, and The Sunrise Movement are timely, the narratives tend to be dull recitations of facts. There are already many serviceable volumes on Walker; the books on the others will be quickly dated. Also, the titles already lack some currency: there is no mention of the ongoing family conflict in Charles's life or of recent Supreme Court opinions authored by Jackson. Little is detailed about the personal lives of the Sunshine Movement's members; just the works and progress of that organization. Fans of Johnson and Adele will probably appreciate the photographs. VERDICT Though these volumes neatly relate the lives of noteworthy people, there is nothing outstanding about them and most are already or soon will be dated. Selectors can find better titles.
