Growing up with actor parents in Los Angeles, Billie Eilish was surrounded by creativity. After writing her first song when she was four, she took to making music with her older brother. The siblings loved to write songs to express themselves. But when a song they uploaded for her dance class went viral, Eilish started sharing more of her music with the world. Even before the release of her debut album in 2019, Eilish skyrocketed to fame. Her unique sense of style and strong point of view made the teen stand out. Winning five Grammys at just eighteen years old the following year solidified her as a fresh new force in pop music. Follow Eilish from homegrown musician to worldwide phenomenon and see what's next for the rising star.

      Gr 4-9-The lives of four people and one virus are traced in these comprehensive biographies. The evolution and current state of the coronavirus is presented, including an overview of COVID-19 treatments and preventative measures. The people biographies include the professional and personal lives of the subjects, with emphasis on their careers. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a lifelong proponent of equal rights between the sexes; Billie Eilish is a talented singer who makes her own statement with her clothes; as a politician Joe Biden has spent his life trying to help others; and Kamala Harris is the first Black, Asian, female vice president and employs her personal moral compass in her decision-making. All titles relate the facts of these individuals' lives, providing students foundations for reports. However, they tend to be adulatory (excepting the book on COVID-19), thus presenting these complex individuals as somewhat one-dimensional. Readers would benefit from more balanced biographies. VERDICT Though timely, except for the title on Ginsburg these volumes are already dated. Selectors should consider based on need.
