AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life is recounted in this inspiring biography. From her childhood, marriage, law school, important court cases through her appointment to the United States Supreme Court, perfectly concise, but plenty thorough for the intended audience. 

 Debbie Levy brings the biography of this Supreme Court Justice to a middle school audience. Wow - well told and organized, accessible and engaging. Gardner's red, white and blue paneled illustrations are clean and expressive. Necessary legal terms are defined on page, includes an epilogue (text, not graphic), timeline, bibliography and sources. An essential addition to your biography section.
