Which Helen Keller biography?

I'm looking for a fairly quick biography of Helen Keller, not too simplistic but not a 200 page read aloud either. Obviously, I want ds to become familiar with a famous historical figure. Helen Keller's and Anne Sullivan's stories contain so many rich character lessons. I would like to find a book that really emphasizes that. What do you suggest?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this is for my 3rd grader and will be an independent read. We are doing living books only for history, so there is also a need to move along to the next topic without a huge time commitment to Helen Keller. He does like the David Adler books. My biggest priority (other than it not being too long) is that it really emphasizes the character qualities of these women. I appreciate the David Adler suggestion!

It was short, but I thought it was quite good. However, it's been a little while since I read it, so I can't remember emphasis on character qualities specifically. Our library has this one and most of this series and I think they were all worthwhile.
