[LM_NET] Middle School Biography Recommendations

[Nancy Shugart <nancy@PROVETHEMWRONG.COM>]

    Hi All,

I'm looking for recommendations of biographies for middle school students.
I am mostly interested in biographies of people who are still living and who, as 
children, were not expected to amount to much but, as adults, they are living their 
dream!

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Even if the person is no longer 
living, I'd still like to have some titles.

Thanks so much.
