This is an everything that you wanted to know about Steve Jobs book. It is a very fast pace book with entertaining and interesting facts.
Middle school children would love this because they may not have any idea who created that I phone that is in their pocket.
Fun classroom activity question.. what did children use to communicate before cell phones? What did you use to look up something for research?

I have read a few of the A True Book series for young readers and have enjoyed them all. Each has a wonderful kid friendly layout with nice photographs, interesting facts, timelines, lists for additional resources, and a glossary of important key words. Before reading this book I new next to nothing about Steve Jobs, other than he was one of the creators of Apple Computers, so to me all this information was new and interesting. After Job's death in 2011 I saw several Facebook and Pinterest posts about his determined spirit and creative mind; however this book talked about some of his flaws which made him seem like more of a real person and has sparked my interest to learn more. This would be a wonderful addition to any elementary or middle school library or classroom.
