Editorial Reviews

Gr 4–6—Readers of this hi-lo series will learn about significant historical moments. A survival quiz tests their ability to survive the dangers of the time period. While the books showcase a gritty style that implies darker content, the text offers standard information. Interspersed throughout the chapters are survivor's tips, tools, and biographies. The survivor quiz, which is essentially a personality quiz, offers unsurprising results. Following the quiz, the text provides information that would have made the questions more meaningful if presented earlier in the narrative. Back matter includes a glossary, additional resources, and an index. VERDICT While the series doesn't quite deliver on its promises, it might fill a void on a hi-lo shelf.
