Gr 4-6--Illustrated with numerous drawings, reproductions, and full-color photos, these series entries discuss the fact and fiction behind their topics. In brief paragraphs, the texts present a blend of historical information, popular beliefs, myths, fictional characters, books, and movies. Although they will not fill report needs, these titles are visually appealing and include lively writing that will attract readers. Conquerors & Explorers is arranged chronologically, beginning with Greek exploration and concluding with a double-page spread on space. Secret Societies looks at heretics, criminal gangs, cults, and militia groups. These titles will be popular with reluctant readers and browsers.
