From simple machines to solving crimes, measurement to space exploration, this season’s general science offerings explain how things work.

Brightly colored illustrations, realistic portrayals of ancient warriors, and photos of famous landmarks make this season’s series visually appealing - but the true standout is the inclusion of historically overlooked viewpoints.

What do dinosaurs, teaspoons, and quantum physics have in common? These are just a few of the topics that this season’s books offer to students.

This season has readers delving into the accomplishments of ancient civilizations, marveling at incredible feats of architecture, and exploring the history and celebration of holidays.

Saber-tooth cats, satellites, and everything in between can be found in this season’s releases.

U.S. topics range from landmarks and historic locations, coverage of World War II or the Harlem Renaissance, and even the details of infamous prison escapes.

Budding scientists and mathematicians are always asking questions about how and why the world functions, and these series are made to answer those inquiring minds.

History can be a bit intimidating to some students, but this season’s series cover a wide range of topics to pique their curiosities.

Whether the books focus on the improvement of sneaker design, coding a robot’s actions, or how to bend a soccer kick, publishers are working hard to make the information personally relevant and attractive.
