Gr 3–6—A series of fun, silly, and unbelievable facts are presented in these books, which deal with a range of high-interest nonfiction topics. The titles are extremely child-friendly with astonishing facts and statistics—"There are more kangaroos in Australia than people" in Geography and "There are about 16 million thunderstorms on Earth each year" in Weather. Bright, eye-catching graphics and color photographs fill each page. The text is highly readable with approximately three short sentences per page. Facts about relevant current events are also included such as information about devastating natural disasters and climate change. This amusing series is intended for entertainment as opposed to academic use; for example, facts are loosely organized by topic without chapters. Each book contains a glossary, index, and additional resources to learn more.
VERDICT "Mind Benders" is bound to entertain and amaze upper elementary students with interesting facts, making this series particularly appealing for reluctant readers.
