Boys Who Rocked the World - From King Tut to Tiger Woods (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

Featuring boy heroes from around the world and across the centuries, this is a fine companion volume to the popular Girls Who Rocked the World series. In the same spirit of celebration, Boys Who Rocked the World profiles already famous heroes along with those who have been overlooked by history or not yet credited for their contributions.

Included in the lineup of the famous are King Tut, pharaoh of Egypt at age 9; Elvis Presley, winner of a singing contest at 10; Pablo Picasso, accepted into the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona at 14; and Tiger Woods, the youngest golfer to win the U.S. Junior Amateur at 15. The lesser-knowns are 30 boys from across America who answer the question "How will you rock the world?" By comparing the dreams of these "boys next door" to those of famous individuals, the book shows today's boys that they, too, can make their mark in the world.
