Joe Biden: From Scranton to the White House by Heather E. Schwartz - ADVISABLE

Joe Biden: From Scranton to the White House by Heather E. Schwartz
, 48 pages. BIOGRAPHY Lerner 2021 $32. 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

This short biography briefly covers Joe Biden's childhood and college years, and his rise from law student to elected official, US Senator, Vice President, and now 46th President of the United States. We learn about his struggles, losing his wife and daughter in a car accident, political successes and challenges, and his health concerns. It does not cover his time in the White House. 

A well put together biography, with full color photographs, a timeline of important dates and source material. I loved how thorough it feels while still being appropriate in length and readability for an upper elementary or middle school student. A great beginning source as a spring board for a longer project, or  as a quick read to find out about this president.
