School Library Journal - Series Made Simple

In-Text Series Review: You really can’t go wrong with any ­series in this section. “Seedlings” (Creative Education), “Machines with Power!” (Bellwether/Blastoff! Beginners), and “Wild Rides” (Black Rabbit/Bolt Jr.) are exciting, engaging picks for the youngest vehicle-obsessed kids in your library. “Cutting Edge Technology” (Bellwether/Epic) “Xtreme Speed” (ABDO/A&D Xtreme), and “Military Vehicles” (Mitchell Lane/Little Mitchie) will appeal to elementary readers. Middle and high school hobbyists and report writers will find much to appreciate in “World of Drones” (ReferencePoint) and “The Risks of ­Social Media” (ReferencePoint). But if you have to pick just one from this stellar class, we recommend “Medieval Tech Today” (­Capstone) for its all-around excellence.
