Blockbusters - School Library Journal

Films that have broken box office records and the people who created them are covered in this series. From classic horror like Steven Spielberg’s Jaws to Ryan Coogler’s superhero hit Black Panther, titles make a point of sharing the commercial and critical acclaim these films received from the beginning. Each series opens with a table of contents and has approximately four chapters. Full-page photographs accompany short paragraphs with vocabulary words highlighted in the text. Meant to accompany the films, the information highlights achievements of each, such as Hannah Beachler becoming “the first Black person to be nominated and win the Best Production Design Oscar” (The Making of Black Panther) or how “no one believed [Star Wars] would become one of the most beloved series of all time” (The Making of Star Wars). While there isn’t a lot of information to accompany the photos, young fans of each franchise will enjoy the simple, straight-forward text. Back matter includes a glossary, online resources, and index.
