Gr 2–6—High-octane extreme sports, such as longboarding, paintball, parkour, and roller derby, are explored in this series, which is written at a first grade reading level. Marked by edgy, appealing covers and full-page photographs, these books feature simple language and engaging "risk factor" fact boxes. For each thrill sport, the history, rules, gear, and moves are described in detail. Specific facts pertaining to the sport are also covered; for instance, roller derby players give themselves nicknames. While these action sports are growing in popularity, the titles do not feature many current examples of athletes in these sports, which will keep them from getting dated. Safety tips and a list of relevant sources for more information are also included for those interested in pursuing the sport.
VERDICT Both adrenaline seekers and casual readers will be captivated by these materials.
