Description: A collection of biographical sketches of famous 20th-century individuals, from Albert Einstein to Sammy Sosa. Although the group is eclectic, the individuals all have one thing in common: they became successful in the face of adversity and therefore are great candidates to become heroes for today's youth.
Review Quotes: "We encourage every young reader of this book to do both. By believing in yourself and reaching for the stars, not only will you achieve your goals, you will become exactly who you want to be--and someone who deserves and receives the respect of family, friends, and peers."
