Gr 1–3—Some of the world's most dangerous jobs, and the brave people who do them, are highlighted in this hi-lo series. Readers will marvel at the action-packed visuals which showcase the thrilling daily lives of smoke jumpers, fighter pilots, ice road truckers, race car drivers, stunt performers, and underwater construction workers. Notable about this series is that it profiles real people working in each job and the challenges and opportunities they face, helping readers put what they learn into context. These books do a great job of integrating relevant details about each career, such as how climate change impacts ice road truckers or why there will be fewer stunt performers in the future because of advances in computer technology and special effects, allowing readers to better understand not only these careers but the world around them. VERDICT A versatile hi-lo series that will excite and entertain beginning and early readers.
