I wanted to find and read more non-fiction books and heard this was a great and interesting series. I was pleasantly surprised and loved reading about Albert Einstein’s life from begging to end. I was stunned to read about the Nazi’s reaction and hatred for him. This book describes Einstein’s childhood, family, education, marriages, trials, tribulations, failures, successes, and end of life. It explores the time period and the world he lived in and how he changed it. The book also includes interesting details and background knowledge on scientific vocabulary and theories. I would have this book in my 5th-grade classroom for independent reading. This series would be great when teaching about biographies and comparing multiple resources. Students would read these books, articles, websites, watch movies, and write about people that have impacted society in their biography journal pages. At the end of the unit, we create a timeline and write a biography report. I believe this series is a great way to get students interested in non-fiction and learn more about famous personalities that changed the

    It is much more effective for the students to have their own perception of the characters and scenes first, then they can watch the story come to life. The audience will already have knowledge on the message and a personal insight on Jeannette Walls’ emotions.

The transformation of The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R.Tolkien, from a novel onto the screen is not an exception to this notion.
