(4) 4-6 Graphic Universe: History's Kid Heroes series. Adapted by Amanda Doering Tourville. Illustrated by Zachary Trover. These cartoon-panel biographies (with awkward invented dialogue) highlight real-life children and teens facing potential disaster and emerging as heroes. From fashioning snowshoes in order to brave a blizzard to helping rescue shipwrecked sailors to saving a family--and the family's chickens--from being washed out to sea, the subjects' exploits are noteworthy. Somewhat stiff and overly cheery cartoons illustrate the tales. Reading list, websites. Review covers these Graphic Universe: History's Kid Heroes titles: The Lifesaving Adventure of Sam Deal, Shipwreck Rescuer, The Stormy Adventure of Abbie Burgess, Lighthouse Keeper, and The Snowshoeing Adventure of Milton Daub, Blizzard Trekker.
