Latino Biography Library series.
The contributions of three prominent Latino Americans--educator Escalante (of Stand and Deliver fame), actor Prinze, and actor/comedian Lopez--are covered in these serviceable biographies. The texts are choppy, but the information provided is fairly wide-ranging. Sidebars offer some historical perspective; average-quality photos round out the presentations. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these Latino Biography Library titles: George Lopez, Freddie Prince, Jr., and Jaime Escalante.
