Description

A fully updated, comprehensive collection of true, inspirational profiles of successful young men from throughout history who made their mark on the world before age twenty. Boys Who Rocked The World introduces readers to forty-five movers and shakers who rocked the world. A variety of achievements, interests, and ethnic backgrounds are represented, from Wolgang Amadeus Mozart and Bruce Lee to Crazy Horse and Stephen King. Personal aspirations from today's young men are interspersed throughout the book, as well as profiles of teenagers who are out there rocking the world right now--boys like John Collinson, the youngest person to climb the Seven Summits, and Alec Loorz, who founded the non-profit organization Kids vs. Global Warming.

Reviews

This title is a perfect motivational tool for young men. It hits home about how you can do what you dream even at an early age if you work hard.
Barbara Allen, VOYA August 2012
"In an appealing, conversational style, McCann presents minibiographies of boys from all over the world, from ancient to contemporary, who prove that youth need not be a barrier to "rocking the world." * Kirkus Reviews *
