Really, a good little biography for kids. I like the side bars of historical events, the definitions for unknown words, and the generally balanced, factual approach. I would recommend this book and series to any student grade 4-6 who likes to learn about people’s lives.

Very well-balanced look at the life and rule of Fidel Castro. Provides the facts in an accessible manner, supplemented with definitions of harder key terms and brief explanations of key concepts at that time in history. Also invites the reader to consider whether Castro was a hero or a villain ("The answer is: It depends on who you ask. And whether you think he was a hero or a villain, his influence on Cuba, Latin America, and the world was huge" pg. 102).

I always like reading Children/YA Non-Fiction. It's easy to get general, fuss-free information. It gives a brief childhood, political life, incarceration, political life/ guerillas, presidency, and death. All in a digestible manner. It was what I was looking for, I'm glad this book provided.
I would recommend as young as 6th grade for this book.
