From School Library Journal
Gr 6-10-Using a variety of quoted sources to introduce alternative points of view, this set covers controversial subjects that are of concern to today's readers, e.g., social media, economic recession, the environment, etc. Each book contains visually appealing sidebars, captioned color photos, and bright, crisp graphics that balance and/or complement the informative, compact texts. "The Debate" text boxes present scientific and moral ideas, dilemmas, and quandaries. Final "You're the Expert" spreads ask readers to take stands on the featured subjects using the information they've read to inform their decisions. Modification is the strongest of the bunch; it explores the history of genetic modification as well as the complex topics scientists, politicians, and the public must ponder, such as animal cloning and world hunger. Despite some typos, this set would be a strong addition to both library and classroom shelves. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
