I am just catching up on my e-mail and I don't think anyone has mentioned Robert Lipsyte for his spectacular series of biographies. I have no interest in sports and less in sports figures and these books captivated me especially the first listed _Joe Louis_. They are short, well written and easy to book talk.

Joe Louis : A Champ for All America Michael Jordan : A Life Above the Rim Arnold Schwarzenegger; Hercules in America Jim Thorpe : 20Th?ntury Jock

for the picture book crowd I like - Jo-Jo's flying sidekick , Brian Pinkney

Fiction- Staying fat for Sarah Burns (Crutcher) still gets me
