Grade 5-8–Attractive, readable biographies. Although Hodge opens with a brief explanation of why the Kennedy years are known as Camelot, both books are arranged in chronological order, moving through each man's childhood, education, marriage and family life, public career, and death. The authors include many anecdotes that will hold readers' attention and help them understand each individual's personality and character. Flaws and mistakes are mentioned, but the books' overall tone is admiring, with Hodge concentrating on Kennedy's unrealized potential for greatness and inspirational vision of America and Mullin emphasizing Jefferson's formidable intellect and contributions to the young nation. A sidebar acknowledges that Jefferson was the likely father of Sally Hemings's children. Both books are lavishly illustrated with color and black-and-white photos, portraits, and period artwork. They include bibliographies, but not documentation. Joyce Milton's John F. Kennedy (DK, 2003) discusses Kennedy's indiscretions and character flaws in greater detail; Jefferson is more interesting and has more detail than Jeri Chase Ferris's Thomas Jefferson: Father of Liberty (Carolrhoda, 1998). Both books would be helpful to report writers, but are also interesting enough to recommend for general reading.–Mary Mueller, Rolla Junior High School, MO

Product Description
Although John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s presidency lasted less than three years before an assassin’s bullet killed him in Dallas, Texas, he had a lasting impact upon the world. Youthful, charming, and articulate, he—and his sophisticated wife Jackie—symbolized hope and optimism in a time of turmoil. Young readers will find themselves enthralled by this biography of one of America’s most popular leaders, which explores J.F.K.’s privileged childhood and tight-knit family; wartime heroism; and political accomplishments, which began in Congress and eventually led him to the U.S. presidency—the youngest man ever elected to the Oval Office.
