The newest titles in the Robbie Reader: Contemporary Biography series feature biographies of contemporary superstars of sports and entertainment. In five short chapters, each title begins with the current status of the individual or group and then goes back to provide interesting information about their childhood(s) and rise to stardom. Rixton details how the four British teens became friends and started a band, which quickly rose to international stardom. Writing quality varies among the volumes, but each includes numerous captioned color photographs, boldface vocabulary collected in a glossary, a chronology of important events, and additional sources. Although designed for a lower-elementary-school audience, these high-interest entries on current celebrities will be popular with tween readers.
