Description
This tenth book in the New York Times bestselling biography series profiles Jane Goodall, the scientist and conservationist who is famous for her work with chimpanzees. After receiving a stuffed animal chimpanzee for her first birthday, Jane Goodall's love of animals only grew. She saw what humans and animals had in common, not what makes us different, and used that to advocate for animal rights everywhere, becoming famous for her work with chimpanzees. This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are: • A timeline of key events in the hero’s history • Photos that bring the story more fully to life • Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable • Childhood moments that influenced the hero • Facts that make great conversation-starters • A virtue this person embodies: Jane Goodall's empathy is celebrated in this biography. You’ll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!

Both authors write fast paced political thrillers featuring likable heroes, powerful villains, and plots with numerous twist and turns. The stories have a strong sense of paranoia as they explore "what if" political situations. The books move quickly as the heroes work to defeat the villains who want to control America. -- Merle Jacob
With good characters caught up in dangerous situations, the fast-paced suspense novels of James Grippando should interest fans of Brad Meltzer. Grippando's multiple plot twists and atmospheric settings will also please Meltzer fans. -- Shauna Griffin
In their novels, both John Grisham and Brad Meltzer portray young, vulnerable lawyers caught in difficult situations, pitted against powerful but corrupt enemies. Their books are characterized by fast pacing, provocative storylines, suspense and danger, along with sympathetic characters. -- Victoria Fredrick
Just like Brad Meltzer, David Baldacci sets his page-turning thrillers against diverse high-power backgrounds -- financial, political, law enforcement, legal. He also offers action-filled plots and sympathetic protagonists battling powerful and deadly opponents. -- Krista Biggs
The heroes of both Joseph Finder's and Brad Meltzer's thrillers are often thrown into deadly situations without any training, and must live by their wits--and save themselves and others--in a dangerous world where black-hearted politicians and corrupt corporations have all the power. -- Shauna Griffin
Both Matthew Quirk and Brad Meltzer write intricately plotted political thrillers. Usually set in Washington D.C., these plot driven thrillers pit their nice-guy heroes against dangerous conspirators who are out to subvert democracy. Tension builds through the twists and turns of the plots to the explosive climaxes. -- Merle Jacob
Stephen W. Frey's financial Thrillers make a good suggestion for Brad Meltzer fans. Conspiracies and power-hungry corporate executives make worthy opponents for Frey's cagey investment bankers (who, like Meltzer's, have a conscience), in these fast-paced, complex, twisted tales of financial skullduggery and more. -- Shauna Griffin
Terrorism, international finance, espionage, and more fill the pages of Christopher Reich's fast-paced, intelligent Thrillers, and his appealing characters, complex plots, and a wealth of details make him a good suggestion for Meltzer readers. -- Shauna Griffin
These authors' works have the subjects "superheroes" and "batman (fictitious character)."
