Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9?Similar to other entries in the series, this attractively packaged biography has a manageable length and a conversational narrative style. In relatively simple sentences and short paragraphs, Siegel describes the various life experiences, influences, and highlights of Richards's career, emphasizing her talent for entertaining oratory. The 10 short chapters, clearly reproduced black-and-white photos, and many apt quotations from Richards herself will enlighten students about this woman's personality and character. The author maintains objectivity throughout, carefully and truthfully discussing Richards' alcohol addiction, her family's reaction to the problem, and the treatment she received. There is no list of further reading, but the chapter notes cite newspapers, magazines, and other references helpful for research. A welcome addition.?Phyllis Graves, Creekwood Middle School, Kingwood, TX
