Booklist Review

Readers will be able to explore the Earth and learn about conservation efforts to help the people, animals, and plants that call it home in the Science Adventurers series (6 titles). In Amazon Explorers, readers learn about tribes living in isolation and steps taken to preserve their way of life and forest home. Excellent narratives pull readers in from the start, allowing them to step into the shoes of the different scientists, making these well-researched titles fast and interesting reads. Large, clear photographs, maps, charts, and graphs help paint a clearer picture of scientists' research, and gray text boxes provide anecdotes, interesting facts and information. "Science Connection" sections help readers see science at work within the different fields, and "Essential Facts" and source notes provide additional information. Both interesting and informative, this series is sure to captivate.
