Gr 5–8—This series packs a high quotient of drama while introducing the science behind some of Earth's potentially more deadly natural phenomena. For example, readers will discover how tsunamis form while also learning about several areas around the world ravaged by them. Fact-filled text boxes have headings such as "Deadly Data" and "Earth Under Attack." Each title includes a number of case studies called "Disaster Report," focusing on a particular devastating event. The layout is visually dynamic and includes many vibrant photographs and other attention-grabbing devices, such as colorful headings and borders. In addition to the "can't look away" pictures, educators will be pleased with the first-rate science content.
VERDICT Appealing selections sure to attract readers.
