Biographies

The newest recommendations are at the top.

A Place to Hide by Jayne Pettit

5th grader Sarah says, "These are true stories about the amazing and terrifying Holocaust and its rescues! It focuses in on the Holocaust heroine Anne Frank, a young teenage girl who wrote her diary while hiding from the Nazis. But, not only that, it also features other people and their frightening tales of the Holocaust. To me, they are great heroes for surviving to tell the tale and let their bravery seep through hard times. This book makes you feel like you were really there when the Holocaust happened and its horrifying experiences."

Who Was Albert Einstein? by Jess Brallier

5th grader Armita says, "This book is wonderful if you are working on a biography project. It goes deep down under the frzzly hair and explains Albert's true feelings. Though it states information, it still has a fun way of getting it across."

Who Was Helen Keller? by Gare Thompson

5th grader Sarah says, " This book gives good and interesting information about the life of Helen Keller. It talks about her childhood, early days, and her later days. This is a very enjoyable biography on Helen Keller!

It is easy to read and understand, so kids of all ages can enjoy it, unlike those loooong and boring biographies with small print and no pictures.
