Gr 2–4—Titles in this series explore various genres of video games, from sandbox to RPG. Each book opens with a table of contents followed by short chapters accompanied by captioned full-page color photos or video game stills. A broad overview is given for every genre: the perspective of a player, art styles across various consoles, a brief history, as well as an overview of the various subgenres. Each chapter contains tidbits of information and "Fast Fact" bubbles, and new terminology is clearly highlighted. Example games referenced are typically well-known, making understanding each genre easy. One title even highlights how multiplayer online battle arena, or MOBA, games hold tournaments similar to other sports and have prizes. While titles only scratch the surface of games and gaming culture, reluctant readers are sure to have their interest sparked. Each title includes comprehension questions, a glossary, further resources, author bio, and index. VERDICT Quick reads for reluctant readers who enjoy video games.
