A collection of biographies of some of the most influential, important, and intrepid figures in history and today. This title covers a wide range of amazing and diverse kids. From such recognisable names as Venus Williams, Beethoven, and Pocahontas, to some you may not know, like Gabrielle Turnquist, the eighteen-year-old lawyer from Britain, or Lydia Ko, who became a professional golfer at the age of sixteen. To help engage reluctant readers, bonus content including activities, factoids, quizzes, and a glossary will make for an enhanced reading experience, and provide excellent ancillary materials for classrooms.
