Chilean mining accident

Gr 3--9--This intermediate series covers extreme rescue events in an appealing way. Emergency rescues vary in currency and in location; spotlighted topics include the 2018 California wildfires and the Apollo 13 mission. Each title begins with a summary of what necessitated an extreme rescue and moves into a chronological narrative. Colorful photographs of the subjects, consistently well-written content, brief and informative sidebars, and useful graphics offer a lively overview of every event. Practical survival tips are provided, and while relevant, can be hard to grasp given the unique nature of some of the rescues. A table of contents, a glossary, and photo credits are provided. Measurement information appears in both standard and metric. No source notes are given, despite some titles including statistics, but a QR code links to additional information on each accident. VERDICT Solid titles that provide clear information on these famous rescues.
