Along with the stories of boy heroes, the book is also interspersed
with the writing and photos of over 30 boys from all across America,
answering the question "How will you rock the world?" inspiring the
boys of today to go for their dreams. By highlighting the goals and
dreams of everyday boys, the book links heroes of history to modern
times. It affirms for the boys of today that they, too, can and will
rock the world!
Boys Who Rocked the World is different from other
history books because it highlights boys who have made a difference in
the world before the age of 20, not grown men. These other books focus
entirely on the accomplishments of men. Boys Who Rocked the World is
more comprehensive than other historical biographies, and covers all
areas of achievement, not just sports or science or writing. It also is
unique because it highlights both famous and less well-known boys from
around the world who made a difference and profiles real boys and their
dreams.
