School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-5-There are not many good biographies about American legends available, and readers will find this graphic-novel series unique and interesting. The information about these six trailblazing men who influenced American history in some way is clearly presented in large, brightly colored panels and through dialogue between the characters and corresponding captions. The books all contain character guides and helpful back matter. Ideal for reluctant readers and fans of legends, lore, and history. (c) Copyright 2011.
