SLJ Review of Leading Biographies
Simple, factual texts describe the career ascension of these six popular women. Readers learn Beyoncé released her first solo album in 2003, 15-year-old Coco Gauf defeated Venus Williams at Wimbledon, and Jenna Ortega plays a psychic teenager in the series Wednesday. Margot Robbie starred in the film Barbie, Selena Gomez began her performing career on Barney & Friends, and Taylor Swift won a Grammy award for her album Fearless. The narratives are limited to a chronology of career highpoints; those looking for in-depth personal information, such as relationships and struggles, will be severely disappointed. Given that these women are still active in their respective fields, these books will soon be dated. However, the photographs featured are the real appeal. Reproduced color photographs feature close-ups of each subject, and young fans will greatly appreciate them. VERDICT The photographs will attract browsers, but some of the information will soon be obsolete; selectors should weigh demand when choosing.
