| Description: |
In the pages of this fine collective biography, readers meet more than 50 children and adolescents who made a mark on the world while very young. Historically, figures such as Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, John Stuart Mill, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are profiled. Chronologically, the panorama of youthful heroes moves forward to examine the accomplishments of Rachel Carson, Pele, and Maria Tallchief. More recent people such as Tiger Woods, Midori, Nawrose Nur, and Ryan White are also profiled. Coverage is brief but informative and lively. |
