In Adele: Voice of a Generation, acclaimed entertainment journalist Katt Waxman delivers an electrifying biography that captures the soulful journey of global superstar Adele, tailored specifically for teen readers. From the gritty streets of Tottenham, London, where a young Adele Laurie Blue Adkins discovered her powerhouse voice, to the dazzling stages of sold-out arenas worldwide, this book traces the rise of an artist whose raw emotion and authenticity have redefined pop music.

Teens will find inspiration in her humor, her championing of body positivity, and her openness about mental health, making her a role model for embracing vulnerability as strength.
