I was not expecting to like this book, as I am not a huge Elvis fan, but I LOVED it! I love the way it is organized into little, short chapters each one announcing a major event in his life: “The Moment in the African American Church,” and “Shazam! A Blond Boy Turns into a Black-Haired Teenager!” By transforming his looks and his movements on stage, he is catapulted to the “King of Rock and Roll!” (ages 6+)
