Book review: Abigail Breslin
If youve got a student reading below middle-grade level who enjoys superstar profiles, the Rising Stars series presents a solid glance at performers who might hold reader interest The tall trim emulates a magazine, and the format is simple: two or three short sentences on the left, typically about career beginnings, highlights, and awards, and a full-page photo on the right, mostly captured at red-carpet or onstage venues. Readers of Abigail Breslin can thrill to images of the girl sporting various hairstyles and hair colors and learn how her big break came with the 2002 film Signs. books like these serve a purpose in any library, and the multicultural subjects showcased here will add to the series appeal.
