Newsmakers Set 4 - SLJ
People currently in the news are the subjects of these six timely biographies. A chronology of career highlights is the focus of the volumes on basketball star Caitlin Clark, actress Lola Tung, gymnast Simon Biles, and singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Readers learn that Clark holds the record as the highest scorer of all college players, Tung’s career began with the lead role in The Summer I Turned Pretty, Biles has won the most international medals of any gymnast ever, and Swift was discovered at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. Personal information is prevalent in the books on King Charles and Middleton, but, excepting brief mentions of family, is scant in the other titles. Fans of Swift will be disappointed that there is nothing about her relationship with Travis Kelce. Photographs complement the texts and the information is current, though the fact that these people are all active means that these volumes will soon become dated.
