BIOGRAPHIES
(4) YA People in the News series. Each title touches on the figure's childhood, adult life, achievements, and surrounding controversies. Though the writing tends to be overly laudatory (not so in Madoff), difficult issues are occasionally addressed ("Leonardo's Stalker," "Is Spike Lee a Racist?"). Sidebars cover more general topics, adding some context. Many photographs are included. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these People in the News titles: Leonardo DiCaprio, Spike Lee, and Bernie Madoff.
