In this inspiring book, Reynolds shares captivating stories of well-known individuals who faced setbacks and failures but ultimately triumphed. From Barack Obama and Greta Thunberg to the Jamaican national women’s soccer team, readers learn that mistakes can lead to remarkable achievements.

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

I would read this book again if given the chance and I was glad I was able to read this time around. I had heard about some of the people in this book. This was an amazing book because even though this book was about successful people it was overall about how success can come from failure and we don't need to be perfect the first time around and I think that is such an important theme. I enjoy nonfiction books like this and I was happy to say I wasn't disappointed.

This compilation of failures-turned-successes will encourage readers to rethink "mistakes" and see them as opportunities for growth instead. From little known to famous people in politics, entertainment, and the business world, the stories collected in this book will inspire you to persevere.

Even more Fantastic Failures by Luke Reynolds
This is a book that highlights one person per chapter and there is focus on how they take a negative situation and turn it into a positive.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
I really enjoyed this non-fiction collection! The people featured were very different, both in terms of what they are famous for and what country they were from. I also really liked that all of the main people had a short made-up and overly positive version of their story before the actual story since it brings in a lot of humour!

I thought this was going to be a graphic novel and was not really interested in reading the book with no pictures as it is a middle grade nonfiction.

I have a couple of gripes about this book. First, I'm not a fan of the tendency to moralize. I have no problems with reflections on a person's persistence or whatever. It's when the author takes a full paragraph to just encourage the reader to be persistent, leaving the profile entirely behind and simply relaying empty platitudes, that I get annoyed. And some of the subjects of this book are not exactly what you'd call failures. Being told by society or your family that you can't do a thing doesn't make you a failure. That's a challenge, not a failure.

"Even More Fantatic Failures" is a great collection of non-fiction stories that show kids that it's OK to fail! Unfortunately most people see failure as a weakness, this book shows kids that every failure is something to learn from. I would definitely recommend it, for anybody wanting to teach about the Growth mindset.

I loved this book. It's absolutely hilarious to read. Its the type of book which you can read without thinking, and to read just for fun.

Even More Fantastic Failures True Stories of People Who Changed the World by Falling Down First is a children's nonfiction book written by Luke Reynolds, with illustrations by M.S. Corley. It is currently scheduled for release on September 15 2020.

Kids today are under a lot of pressure to succeed, but failure has an important place in life as young people learn how to be a successful person. In his teaching career, Luke Reynolds saw the stress and anxiety his students suffered, whether it was over grades, fitting in, or simply getting things right the first time. Kids will read about a host of inspiring, courageous, and diverse people who have accomplished—or still are accomplishing—big things to make this world a better place. A wide range of stories about Barack Obama, Greta Thunberg, Nick Foles, Emma Gonzalez, Beyoncé, Ryan Coogler, John Cena, Socrates, and even the Jamaican national women’s soccer team, prove that the greatest mistakes and flops can turn into something amazing. In between these fun profiles, Reynolds features great scientists and other pivotal people whose game-changing discovery started as a failure. Each profile includes advice to readers on how to come back from their own flops and move forward to succeed.

Even More Fantastic Failures True Stories of People Who Changed the World by Falling Down First is a lovely read that takes the time to encourages readers to find their passion, their major interests, and make the most of it. I really enjoyed the fact that Reynolds pointed out that everyone has failures and stumbling blocks, but sometimes it is what we learn from those moments, and how we react, the help us grow and have the strength we need to succeed in the long run. I also like that the author offered yo his own struggles against expectations and personal interest, I think this helps readers relate even more to the subject and people included in the book. I liked how well the book was researched, and that each sections was annotated with its sources. I liked the additional tidbits about other people that struggled and worked toward change that were included in each section. I found that the people included were nicely varied, without focusing on any one field, gender, or other distinct category. To me this help show that there are a countless numbers of paths or interests that can lead to personal or professional success. It was a good reminder for me, and I learned more about some names I thought I already knew quite well, and some I should have.

Even More Fantastic Failures True Stories of People Who Changed the World by Falling Down First is an accessible and well written book that encourages readers to pursue their passions and keep working toward their goals, even when they go against the expectations of others.

Easy to digest. Quick biographical tidbits that help encourage readers to keep trying and that we may be capable of great things even when the odds are against us.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this eArc.

I loved this book and found it incredibly interesting. It was great nonfiction and I think students would be very interested in the stories of the people who overcame failures and hardships to later find success. I do a famous failure research unit with in my growth mindset unit and I think my students would love to read some of these stories and share them. They were great and I plan to purchase a copy to have in my class library and refer to for students. It was a great read and I highly recommend this book.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Aladdin/Beyond books for providing me an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Even More Fantastic Failures is a great non fiction book about a diverse group of individuals who showcase the failures they faced on their road to later success in there respective fields. This is a fantastic collection highlighting that sometimes we have to fail several times before we discover success. Stories from film makers, politicians, composers, historical figures and performers just to list a few. I highly recommend this book.

My son liked reading about how even the most successful people had notable failures. he's a perfectionist and he struggles when faced with a challenge. I thought this book would help him see that people he idolizes became idols while making mistakes along the way.

Name: Even More Fantastic Failures

Genre: Non-fiction
Rating:3.8/5
Review:
This book tells the story of successful people and their struggle to success. Each chapter talks about one specific successful person and their story. It includes quotes from the personality as well.
I was enticed by the cover of this book. Much recommended.

This was a very interesting book and good for lessons on not giving up. In addition, there are plenty of examples of finding the good in a mistake, and the fact that sometimes mistakes and the process of "inventing" are really what matters.

This second installment continues in the footsteps of the first to highlight that failure is but one step in the journey, and that it is often necessary in order to reach new heights. I read this with my seven year old and while it was a bit above his level, I think he was still able to glean some good information and lessons from it.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book would make a great classroom resource book for children and adults alike.

I found out some really interesting and insightful things in this book about famous people who are old, young and from all walks of life.

This book is interesting as it doesn't just focus on the positive achievements of the people it mentions, but about their struggles and not giving up on their dreams.

Each chapter is about one person and is told in a short, concise way. Some people have more written about them than others but all are interesting to read about.

'Even More Fantastic Failures' is an informative and entertaining anthology. It contains stories of famous people and their big failures and their outcome.
The book shows failures as a part of the journey, not the end as we tend to think in our success-driven world. Reading this title was a great experience and learning curve for me.
'Even More Fantastic Failures' was educational and fun to read. Plus, the book had great illustrations.
