Gr 5–9—This series focuses on natural wonders of the world, including Angel Falls in Venezuela and the Sahara Desert in Africa. Each two-page chapter features a photo, two paragraphs, and an interactive activity or highlighted information supplemented with a photo or an infographic. A time line is included along with a larger picture map that depicts similar wonders on other continents. Key issues (such as desertification) along with history (Ramses II of Egypt in Nile River) or colonization of the country (Hernando de Soto was the first European to see the Mississippi River) are explained. Questions to apply new knowledge and a hands-on activity to strengthen understanding are provided at the end. VERDICT A series that offers broad background information and details the importance of each landform for older readers.
