Rachel Carson: Voice for the Earth (Lerner Biographies)

Rating:
Summary: Short and sweet
Review: This is a good book for lower level readers. Also kids who are intimidated by longer books. Also good for higher level readers in earlier grades, 2nd to 3rd, for example. Very accessible telling of Rachel's life, the author blends well the details of her personal life with her professional life, weaves a good story. Quite poetic in parts, disadvantaged, introspective or nature loving kids may find it inspiring. The only gripe I have is that it is a little short on details, but for some kids, less is more.
