Review

The latest entry in (editor) Jon Scieszka's Guys Read series features non-fiction adventure, biographical, and historical essays. From the story of a shipwreck (on the edge of the Sahara desert no less) by Steve Sheinkin to a graphic novel by Nathan Hale to Universe ("Uni-verses") poetry by Douglas Florian, this book has something for every reader -- boys and girls. Features ten excellent, high-interest essays. (Cream of the Crop)

Overall Book Score: excellent
