The latest book in the "Celebrities with Heart" series features Disney channel alum Hilary Duff. It follows her career as an actress, a singer and a fashion designer. It also presents her personal life, including with her romantic relationships, rejection, criticism, and an eating disorder. In keeping with its emphasis on "heart," the book turns its attention to Duff's involvement in various charities, such as USA Harvest, Blessings in a Backpack, and Kids with a Cause. A filmography and discography are included in the back, along with information about the charities with which Hilary Duff is involved. While some information found in the pages of this book is already outdated, Duff serves as a good role model for young readers based on her ability to deal with pressure, scrutiny, and body image. Her story is also worthwhile for its emphasis on the hard work she has put into developing a successful career while making charity a priority., Children's Literature
