Themes: History, Civil Rights, Nonfiction, Tween. Nine high school students in Little Rock, Arkansas were at the heart of the battle to integrate schools in the late 1950s. Many places in the south were slow to change, but things got especially heated in Little Rock, Arkansas. Red Rhino Books Nonfiction is the first Hi-Lo children's nonfiction series at a first-grade reading level for students in grades 4–7. Visually appealing fullcolor photographs and illustrations—along with fun fact boxes—keep these books flowing. Also includes prereading comprehension questions along with a 20-word glossary for further reading support.

      Gr 4-8-A wide range of high-interest nonfiction topics in science, technology, and history are explored in this nonfiction series. Entries begin with a short third-person narrative relating to the subject. Chapters break down topics into smaller pieces, often which contextualize the topic for modern-day readers. For example, 3D Printing provides several chapters about the different fields that use the technology, and Little Rock Nine describes, step-by-step, the struggle for school integration. While complex topics, such as race and germ warfare, are featured, brief chapters and sentences with three-to-five words help simplify each subject. A controlled vocabulary also makes this series accessible for readers on a first grade reading level. Vivid covers, along with full-page color photographs and graphics, make each book visually appealing. Nonfiction text features including bold words, a short glossary, and highlighted fun facts, are sprinkled throughout. VERDICT With engaging topics, this highly readable series can be used for research by upper elementary and middle school hi-lo readers.
