(3) K-3 Milestone Books series. Illustrated by Rebecca Guay. These books for younger readers offer only a few personal details and focus on the subjects' accomplishments. Krensky provides a sprightly account of the maverick Nellie Bly's work exposing corrupt politicians, unfair treatment of the mentally ill, and fraud. Soto covers Chávez's role in helping California farm workers fight for their rights. Both books include black-and-white drawings; Bly has a timeline. Bib. [Review covers these Milestone Books titles: Nellie Bly and Cesar Chavez.]
