Bonnie & Clyde: The Making of a Legend/KarenBlumenthal/250 pages (True Crime)

Bonnie and Clyde: The Making of a LegendBonnie and Clyde:  The Making of a Legend is a new young adult book about one of America's most notorious couples.  The book opens when Bonnie and Clyde are in their teens and have not yet met.  From there it takes you (in chronological order) through car heists, robberies, murders, gun battles and prison breaks all the while portraying our pair as a nice young couple that seemed to get in trouble a lot.  Our author must have used family interviews for her book.  She seems intent on correcting some falsehood about Bonnie and Clyde and includes sections that let you know Bonnie was quite a poet and Clyde liked hot chocolate with marshmallows!  This is a very readable account of these famous outlaws.  The photos are a real bonus.
