Gr 4—8—This hi/lo series profiles current stars, giving basic information about their childhoods, how they rose to fame, and the songs for which they are famous. The language is clear, but for every full-page color photo there are only one or two short sentences on the accompanying page. Glossary words are not highlighted in the narratives. Although the appeal of the subjects may be high, there is not enough information provided in these books to justify purchase.
