I would recommend two books by Luetta Reimer. Mathematicians Are People
, Too, volumes 1 and 2. I think they could be just what you're looking
for.

I am searching for some good biographical reference books dealing with
mathematicians. I have found several sources that deal with scientists
but contain some information about specific mathematicians, but looking
for something more geared specifically toward mathematics, and the
influential people in the history of it.
I have also noticed that most of what I find is a little bit heavy in
the content and reading level. Does anybody know of anything that’s
more middle, or early high school level?
