Some students may enjoy this but I think most will not because of how long and it doesn‘t have anything that may draw the students into it.

Biography
This books goes over all the accomplishments and failures of one of the most noticed Elizabethan age figures.

Not too crazy of a quote but interesting to know his life was filled with romance. When I first look at this book I don‘t see that at all!

I enjoy the use of maps because it provides me with a clearer understanding of where everything is happening and taking place!

Published in 2000, this biography includes a table of contents, maps, cast of characters, and realistic illustrations to detail the life of Sir Walter Ralegh! The style of this book is clear and readable, although wordy, it was a great detailed piece into the quests and journey of Sir Walter! It was a little too long for my liking, but it is still a great story to have!

There are barely any pictures to explain the story

This book seems very boring by looking at its cover and flipping. Rough the pages. There are words that cover every page throughout the book. This would have to be for high school students. The pictures are bland

“...a man whose personality could not have been better suited to his era...”

This book is very large and has complicated stories to follow along with. It seems like a very good book but not for young children.
