My fifth graders love The Who Was/Is book series. The books are short and easy to read. As AR books they are written between 4th and 5th grade level. My students will love this book on Stephen Hawking as each class I've had is fascinated by him.

These little books have a lot of information not only about the person themselves but the time they lived.. great for reports.
