Reviews
Beyonc sells out tours and crafts multiplatinum records, and her likeness adorns everything from clothing to accessories to motivational slogans ('you have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyonc '). It may surprise readers that she was homeschooled and missed out on many childhood and adolescent benchmarks. Schwartz provides fans with an in-depth look at the icon's rise to international fame. Appearances on Star Search, her experiences in the groups Girl's Tyme and Destiny's Child, and her record-shattering solo career: this biography covers all of the pivotal moments in Beyonc 's life. Readers will appreciate the details and even be surprised by some of the information revealed, such as Beyonc feeling like a social misfit in her teen years. The images chronicle her transformation into a megastar. VERDICT A fun and informative biography perfect for tweens. --School Library Journal --Journal
