I bought this book because I work with young people and I wanted to find something powerful and inspirational. I wasn't disappointed. What an amazing biography it is! Ben Carson, grew up deprived and marginalised. He had a strong faith in God and an influential mother who taught him to use his brain to find solutions to his problems. He was teased and his peers assumed he wasn't clever, but with the help of his mother and his faith, he had a dream to become a doctor. This is a page turner and the fact it deals with overcoming prejudice, childhood poverty and faith is something that will appeal to young people who have dreams. Ideal for 9-12 year-olds.

It's great to know that there is a kid version of the Inspiring life story of Ben Carson. My son love reading the book as every chapter was like Ben telling my son the story of his life. My son has gain more confidence in who He desires to be. Awesome Read, anytime anywhere.
