Series and Publisher: Dream Cars   

Annotation: Since 1910, Alfa Romeo's cars have topped the racing circuit. Most car aficionados consider owning one a privilege. The Italian brand experienced rollercoaster ups and downs throughout its long history. By 1995, its U.S. sales declined so sharply that it pulled out of the country's market altogether. Thirteen years later, it made a triumphant return, bolstered by its parent company, FIAT. Read about how this company has reinvented itself multiple times in its more than 110 years of history, enabling itself to continue to grow, expand, and remain on top. Strap in for the ultimate tour of the most amazing, powerful, and stylish cars.

Gr 6–9— Readers will learn all the ins and outs of the world's most lavish, luxurious cars in this extensively researched series. Each book covers roughly the same territory, detailing the brand's history, iconic models, and future, while including handy QR codes that link out to educational videos that supplement the text. Innovation and elegance are the name of the game for all these "Dream Cars." Bentley has been around for over 100 years, debuting as a race car in the 1919 Le Mans. Maserati began as a racing company as well, which shows in its cars' sleek, aerodynamic bodies. As is often the case with the longer Mason Crest books, the writing begins to drag and feel repetitive, as if they're writing to hit a page count needed for primary source length requirements. VERDICT A useful addition if your school has a lot of gearheads.
