Sue Macy is also the author of National Geographic's Bulls-Eye: A Photobiography of Annie Oakley, which has been exceptionally well-reviewed and received: Reviews for BULLS-EYE: "This book is exemplary non-fiction: well documented, lots of period photos with credits, a resource list, and a chronology. Equally important is its engaging and well-crafted account of this famous woman of the West." -School Library Journal, October 2001 "Sue Macy offers a vibrant portrait of famed sharpshooter Annie Oakley�.Macy works hard to separate the facts of Oakley's life from the nearly mythological woman she has become in American culture. Although the shows and movies focused on her are more fantasy than fact, Macy notes that all of the stories about Oakley have one common thread: They show a woman of great inner strength who was determined to succeed in life." -Washington Post, December 9, 2001 "I put aside this book to read the next day, but opened it just for a peek. Before I knew it, I inhaled it cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed it. Readers will sail through this well-written story." -The First Coast Parent, (Jacksonville Beach, FL), November 2001 Awards and Distinctions for BULLS-EYE: * Best Books, 2001 (School Library Journal) * Notable Books for Children, 2002 (American Library Association) * Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People, 2002 (Children's Book Council, Inc. and National Council for the Social Studies) * Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices, 2002 (University of Wisconsin) * 2001 Gold Medal for Non-Fiction (National Parenting Publications Association) * Children's Literature Choice List, 2002 (Children's Literature) * Top 25 Books of 2001 (Peggy Sharp, Designs for Learning) * One of 20 books on the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List for 2003-2004Macy, Sue is the author of 'Freeze Frame A Photographic History of the Winter Olympics', published 2006 under ISBN 9780792278887 and ISBN 0792278887.
