Gr 3–5—This series involves readers from the opening page of each volume. Real-life examples, engaging presentation, and striking photos work together to immerse students in the dangerous work of these brave men and women. Brief, easy-to-read blocks of text highlight the skills, training, and safety precautions needed in order to succeed and survive. Each chapter is followed by "Take the Test!," a reading comprehension quiz that reads more like a training checklist than a means to review content. Coupled with the invigorating design and visuals, with paint-splatter graphics and star-shaped sidebars, the series is energetic and should appeal to reluctant readers and those looking for action-packed career choices.
VERDICT Students will eagerly pick up these fact-filled volumes.
