Gr 5-8--This well-done abridgement of Dana White's book (Lerner, 2000) is narrated by Robert Abia. Lucas' life story reads like one of his movies thrilling and full of action. From his near-fatal car accident at age 18 to the grueling work of Star Wars film production, Abia leads young listeners through the twists and turns of Lucas' rollercoaster ride to movie-making mogul. All the important highlights of his life are here, including intriguing details such as his penchant for fast cars and comic books, his early disdain for schoolwork, and his aloofness around actors and people in general. As entertainment, this is a read-aloud adventure. As a teaching aid, Lucas' biography will serve as gentle reminder that hard work and ingenuity really do lead to great achievements.-Celeste Steward, Contra Costa County Library, Clayton, CA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.Book Details
