Reviews

The Celebrities with a Heart series attempts to introduce young teen readers to celebrities in a manner that goes beyond tabloid headlines and professional successes, attempting to emphasize personal charity. In the two titles of this review the intent was achieved with varying success. Angelina Jolie is a tabloid favorite, a highly visible actress both in her personal and professional life. Schuman addresses some of the personal controversy of her life but without detail. in a manner appropriate for this age group. Beyond what is known of her in this sense, Jolie is a humanitarian activist who brings her name, passion, and money to support global causes. While the Jolie title outlines her career and some of her personal life, there is a great deal of time spent on her charity.
