"Hispanic Star: Pedro Pascal" by Claudia Romo Edelman and Karla Arenas Valenti is part of the Hispanic Stars series. This biography is perfectly suited for young readers who are fans of “The Mandalorian.” While the book briefly mentions Pascal’s other projects, the focus remains on his journey in a way that’s appropriate for younger audiences. I can already think of several kids in my library who will be eager to check it out!
Thank you to Netgalley and Roaring Brook Press for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I loved reading this! I learned a lot about him and really felt his story being told. I was already a Pedro Pascal fan to begin with but this just solidified my administration for him. I think younger fans with be inspired by desire to not give up even with so many things and people want you to. This was a great,lighthearted,inspiring read.

A fun read for all ages! This book is chock full of facts about the life and journey of Pedro Pascal. The author covers a variety of pop culture and Latin American history as she journey's through Pedro's life, with many "guest stars" along the way. The small pop outs to describe complex ideas or vocabulary are helpful for young readers, though some of the jargon of Hollywood is missing later on as we read about Pedro's most recent rise to fame.

Overall, this is a quality chapter book written in an approachable format. As a parent, I'd happily share it with my child. The idea of the 'Hispanic Star' franchise is also welcome representation in the children's literature space.

This honest review is provided in connection with my receipt of an ARC copy through NetGalley provided by the generous staff of Roaring Brook Press and Macmillan Children's.
