When it comes to changing the world, two titles—Girls Who Rocked the World and Boys Who Rocked the World—prove that it doesn’t matter how old you are. Originally a two-book series, which Publishers Weekly has called a pioneering force in the “girl power” movement, Girls Who Rocked the World authors Michelle Roehm McCann and Amelie Welden once again introduce 45 movers and shakers who rocked the world before the age of 20. Boys Who Rocked the World offers an updated, comprehensive collection of inspirational, engaging profiles of 45 amazing young men, from King Tut to Will Smith, all of who made their mark before turning 20.

I truly wish that new and old authors would stop using so much profanity in their books now. I, along with our parents, find it very offensive and unnecessary. The books that are geared toward middle school and younger should at least have edited copies, yet the publishers say they are uable to add a language flag for books on their sites. It is because they know we won’t buy the books with the sexual content or profanity. It is getting harder and harder to find appropriate books for these kids.
