I like this series because they make fun of “what the teacher wants you to know” in the hunt to find the most interesting tidbits about a person. Because the book is designed that way, the reader does not get the normal biography that they would find from any publisher. Instead they get fun information that might only exist in books for adult. For example, until this book I had no idea Amelia wanted to be a doctor, or that she was a nurse. This book is a lot of fun, and if kids have to read a biography, they should try out this book or this series.
