Editorial Reviews

11/01/2020

Gr 6–9—The titles detail the careers, lifestyles, challenges, and roles within each branch of the U.S. military. Notable accomplishments, required training and education, weapons, and fascinating facts are also featured. In contrast to the other ABDO offering from this season, this series does a better job at showing gender and racial diversity in military careers, highlighting the Female Entanglement Teams in the Marine Corps and equivalent programs in other branches. Readers will be excited to learn about lesser-known roles. VERDICT Recommended for larger middle school collections; high schools may also want to consider.
