Gr 3-6 -These books offer high-interest subject matter in a graphic-novel format. Historically accurate, each one presents brief information about the featured event. Yellowish-tan bubbles indicate direct quotations from primary sources. "Alamo", "Lincoln", and "Polo "are slightly stronger as stories than "King Tut", perhaps because they are about real events while "Tut" is as much about a superstition as it is about Howard Carter's discoveries. And make no mistake, these are stories, based on fact and classified as nonfiction; there is invented dialogue, which is close to melodramatic at times. Thoughts and feelings are also fictionalized. Likely to be snatched up by young and reluctant readers, these titles work as hooks to lead to more in-depth information or as fun and interesting reads. Colorful artwork with strong black lines is competently done and contributes to a sense of time and place. Great literature? No. Shelf sitters? Definitely not." -Peg Glisson, Mendon Center Elementary School, Pittsford, NY"Copyright 2005 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
