Vietnam: A History of the War
Along with being more readable than the plethora of assignment titles on the subject, this is a clear-eyed view of a watershed event in U.S. history and a significant update to older histories for middle graders.
The Last Man on the Moon
This would be suitable for history or science classes, not as a first introduction to the space race but as a sort of capper, particularly for college prep.
Crow Smarts: Inside the Brain of the World's Brightest Bird
Required reading for anyone who believes that we are the only, or even the most, sapient species on the planet. Highly recommended for STEM and animal collections.
Milestones of Flight: From Hot-Air Balloon to SpaceShipOne
A limited but handsomely produced survey that should be popular with readers who have their eyes on the skies.
How To Build a Motorcycle: A Racing Adventure of Mechanics, Teamwork, and Friendship
Though far from being a step-by-step manual for would-be young makers, this does impart a better sense of how (smaller) motorcycles work than standard-issue browsing items like Amicus's Motorcycles from the "Motorsports" series.
Raising the Dinosaur Giant
A stimulating and informative prelude to dinosaur exhibits—in New York or anywhere else.
Bug Burgers to Black Holes: General Science | Series Nonfiction
Covering everything from toilets to the electromagnetic spectrum, these titles aim to inspire readers to look beyond seemingly ordinary occurrences and into the underlying scientific principles that define our lives.
The Story of Seeds: From Mendel's Garden to Your Plate, and How There's More of Less to Eat Around the World
An impassioned call to action, likely to leave readers both scared and inspired.

A good option for those seeking solar system materials.
