How old were they when they learned to read? Who taught them? What obstacles did they overcome in learning to read? What kinds of books did they most enjoy reading? To what extent did the books they read as children pave the way for their many accomplishments later in life? More to the point, what inspiring lessons about books and reading can we learn from these readers and leaders? Whatever the course followed, all of those profiled in \u003ci\u003eReaders and Leaders\u003c\/i\u003e have inspiring stories to tell as their childhood experiences with books were both powerful and lasting--in essence their seeds to later greatness. Indeed, some of the leaders credit just one book or just one author with turning their life around and setting them on a path to fame or fortune. At a time when many young teenagers are well-versed in the lives of sports heroes who often pursued their childhood dreams with a ball in hand, \u003ci\u003eReaders and Leaders\u003c\/i\u003e gives teens an opportunity to learn about other kinds of heroes who explored bigger and better worlds with a book in hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Steffensen Romaine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591585163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591585169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.57w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 283","brand":"Susan Steffensen Romaine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088603885823,"sku":"9781591585169","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66df4811-edf1-4b16-ab27-3c9a49d63811.jpg?v=1769105690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/readers-and-leaders-susan-steffensen-romaine-9781591585169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
