Zoe Kravitz: X-Men's Amazing Angel (Pop Culture Bios: Action Movie Stars) by Sandy Donovan –OPTIONAL


Donovan, Sandy Zoe Kravitz: X-Men's Amazing Angel (Pop Culture Bios: Action Movie Stars) 32 pgs. Lerner Classroom, 2013. $7.95  Content: Language: G (0 swears);  Mature Content: G ;  Violence: G.
Zoë Kravitz is known for her role of Angel in X-Men: First Class, but she has done plenty of other acting and singing too!  She comes from pretty famous parents, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz. This biography includes her accomplishments, talents, and hobbies. Features tons of photographs.
This one is optional because its geared for elementary but many students that age probably haven’t seen the movie she is known for. I prefer to add modern bio’s to my collection that include people that haven’t had the best opportunities (versus famous parents to bolster them along –although the book claims this isn’t true). Though adding good role model like Zoë might be beneficial to your collection, since she is a professional,not a typical “celebrity”.
