      Gr 3-6-This well-researched and lucidly written series takes on various figures who have overcome obstacles. The books offer colorful presentation and incorporate references to contemporary popular culture where appropriate. Explanations of the scientific concepts in Marie Curie and Stephen Hawking, for example, are clear and easily grasped. Potentially volatile subjects, such as the racism of the apartheid system in South Africa in Nelson Mandela, are portrayed in detail and with candor, though at times more sensitive aspects are dealt with in softer focus. "Who's Who" sidebars sketch out related personalities. Some titles offer suggestions for further research, such as finding out more about the region of Pakistan where Yousafzai was born. VERDICT These engaging and solidly reported biographies will appeal to students looking for inspirational stories.
