Interesting facts about famous men and boys who have achieved success through overcoming obstacles. Not as accurate with dates and places as the Rebel Girls books. According to this book, Benjamin Zephaniah is from London which as most people know he is from Birmingham.

This is a non fiction book and so inspiring. What interest me most is the courage and the zeal of not giving up. I liked the stories of Carlos Acosta , Emmanuel Yeboah best. Both boys from humble beginnings and Emmanuel been disabled and was able to accomplish his dreams.
