“

Using narrative nonfiction, this attractive series hooks readers from the outset by using realistic story lines and engaging dialogue to demonstrate how science plays a part in everyday life. The narratives are well written and generally plausible...and feature diverse tweens, teens, and adults as characters. • The inclusion of an activity-based exercise (“Try It Yourself”) at the end of each chapter further diversifies the content. Each volume ends with a clear, bite-size concept review that briefly reiterates the focus of each chapter • VERDICT: Unique in its approach, this set stands out and would be a solid purchase to fill collection gaps.
