Robert Frost
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, / I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference." Four-time Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Robert Frost used simple language to describe nature and ordinary life. Frost himself switched paths in 1912, quitting his teaching position to become a full-time poet. His poems, easy and insightful to children and adults alike, hold a special place in America's hearts. This outstandingly composed biography introduces a new generation to the remarkable and beloved poet: a man with courage and the determination to hold on to a dream despite all obstacles.

People to Know Today series. Published fall 2006. All five of these biographers write about their subjects in glowing terms. With the exception of Frost, the books offer limited, anecdote-heavy information. Many photographs, sidebars, and pull-out quotes support the texts, and their clean design makes the chronologies easy to follow. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2007
