Gr 5-8 Four dangerous yet necessary professions are explored in this gripping series featuring dramatic narratives, fascinating facts, and sharp photography. Discussion of these high-interest, risky occupations include general job information, such as education and training requirements, daily activities, and tools of the trade, which are complemented by bright yellow "Fact" boxes ("Only four smokejumpers have died during a parachute jump since 1940."). The inclusion of "Critical Thinking Using the Common Core" components allows students to reflect upon their reading, adding increased engagement. VERDICT Put these on display in careers or science and technologythey won't stay on the shelves very long.
