Editorial Reviews

"Nice introductions to modern musicians that should entice elementary school children and should be well circulated in libraries where there is a demand."—School Library Journal

From the Publisher

Gr 3–5—Young fans will enjoy this series, which profiles their favorite music stars. These books provide inspiring accounts of the subjects' professional lives. Harry Styles once hosted Saturday Night Live; Ariana Grande was on Broadway at age 13; Billie Eilish was a member of the Los Angeles Children's Chorus; Bruno Mars starred in the 2014 Super Bowl halftime show. A common theme is how the singers write songs portraying their inner struggles. Shawn Mendes's music reflects his anxieties, and Lizzo sings about body image. Except for their philanthropic contributions to various causes, the texts don't dive too deeply into their personal lives. This won't matter to young fans who will appreciate the colorful photographs and the current information about the subjects' careers. VERDICT Nice introductions to modern musicians that should entice elementary school children and should be well circulated in libraries where there is a demand.
