I think most biographies for kids are dismal! Boring, boring, boring. My students like these trashy paperbacks about their current idols. I have had *Elvis and Me* stolen countless times. I really like anything by Russell Freedman. My favorite is *The Wright Brothers: How They Invented the Airplane* because they were so smart (they KNEW they were going to invent an airplane and so they photographed every thing they did) and SOOOO ecentric!
