Strong Man: The Story of Charles Atlas

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • Both the humor of the illustrations and the accretion of cool Atlas facts … keep things light without undercutting the author’s genuine admiration for the man.
    Kirkus Reviews
  • A cheerful introduction to a cultural legend whose messages about self-respect and healthy choices are just as timely today as they were 50 years ago.
    Booklist
  • This colorful book captures both the essence and mystique of an American icon.
    School Library Journal
