SLJ Review of Human Behind the Hero

Young fans of superhero movies will learn some facts about their favorite actors in the various heroic roles. Anthony Mackie is a Julliard graduate who originally portrayed “The Falcon” in other movies, Brec Bassinger was in beauty pageants, and Elizabeth Olsen was a good student as well as the younger sister of the Olsen twins. Jason Momoa’s first job was on Baywatch, Simu Liu was a failed accountant who turned to acting, and Tatiana Maslany won an Emmy award for Orphan Black. Eventually all the actors achieve and embrace their current roles. The texts are simple and direct but appropriately informative for the targeted readers. The photographs alone will entice the subjects’ loyal following. VERDICT Fans anxious for information about the actors portraying their favorite fictional characters will greatly appreciate these titles and selectors should consider where there is demand.
