Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 4^-7. Readers will be immediately drawn into this accessible biography by a dramatic retelling of the 1981 attempted assassination. Details of Reagan's life and presidency follow, with Judson providing some critical insight into Reagan's political actions. Excerpts from documents Reagan signed as California's governor, part of his first inaugural address as president, and part of his last address to the nation are among materials included. There is no clue as to why some of the documents have been excerpted, and the placement of the documents seems to lack a cohesive design, but the information Judson has gathered will still be useful for report writers.

More About the Author

I wrote my first book when I was in second grade, titled, "The Adventures of Drancy New." Obviously, it lacked originality. Since then, I taught school--college biology, high school sciences, and grades one and three--then published 15 books and 500 magazine articles. I'm an animal lover with a fifteen-pound cat named Boog, and I live in deep timber some twenty miles from Mount Rushmore. Nonfiction has been good to me and I love writing it, but I'm also working on a young adult mystery series.
