SCHWAB, Chris . Water and Weather . ISBN 9781731657367 . ea vol: 32p. (Amazing Real-Life Stories!). Rourke / High Tide . Aug. 2023. Tr $27.50. Gr 4–9— Animal attacks, tsunamis, and plane crashes are a few of the extreme situations that capture readers' attention in these pages. Some accounts are told in more depth, such as the Thai cave rescue; others appear in a trading card-style sidebar with the bare facts listed. Photos of sharks, tsunamis, and deadly rattlesnakes will also hold readers' interest. There are useful tips on dealing with deadly situations like snake bites or earthquakes. Vocabulary words are bold within the text, then defined at the bottom of the page. A memory quiz in the back matter shows six photos and readers try to retell the story that goes with each one. There is also an activity to apply what was learned by making a weather safety poster or a packing list for a survival kit. VERDICT Sure to appeal to readers who love extreme nature or survival stories.
