One Direction

by Sam Salazar

Overview

One Direction truly took the world by storm. Five young men, appearing first as solo acts on the British show The X Factor, were given the chance to make it big as a boy band. Ever since their auditions in 2010, screaming throngs of fans have been following every move and hanging on every word. This accessible book takes a look at each member of the band (Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik) and their remarkable rise to the top of the charts.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 1–4—The books in this series present the lives of popular young celebrities in the fields of music and film. For each star, students learn of his or her work, awards, progression of career, and home life in a simple, straightforward manner. The surface-level information provided is easy to understand and is broken down into chapters. Each spread consists of a page with minimal text (around three sentences) and a full-page color photo. Although there is a glossary in the back of each book, vocabulary words are not differentiated in any way on the pages. The sparse text and large print would be beneficial to young or struggling readers, and the content will appeal to slightly older kids as well. Decent enough for well-used biography collections.
