Abdo Publishing has got the right style going on with their Contemporary Lives biography series.  Glossy pages full of color photos, sidebars, and to be honest, font at a size 14, really makes the information easy to get through.  Specifically, Lisa Owings writing about Adele was very intriguing.  Owing keeps readers interested by her own exciting diction such as dazzled, rocketed, belted, and fizzled.  Her writing also focuses on the emotional side of the Adele, allowing readers to feel Adele’s excitement, passion, and soul for music.  Any student in middle or high school would enjoy this  100 page biography.  Other artists in the series that this librarian plans to pursue include: Beyonce, Drake, Cee Lo Green, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj and Kanye West.  Highly recommended for school and public libraries.
