We purchased this for our 12 yr old son. He has read all the stories many times. The book should be on school reading lists around the country because these are written by well-known male figures detailing their stories of how they became successful and overcame challenges. One reviewer said this was good for "tough" kids but I think it is a great tool to help build self esteem in all boys. The chapter authors are diverse enough to capture almost any child's interests and he can find several personal heroes throughout these pages. Would love to see more books like this.

Great for those tough kids. I can't wait to use it in my classroom. Found one cuss word in the front of the book in a poem, may ruffle some feathers, but it is just one cuss word, one that I hate, but not the worst. "full of piss and vinegar"

This is a fun and inspirational read! I love to use this book as a way to talk about role models and how ordinary people find their talents and run with them!
