Special Reports Set 4

★STARRED★ "The Special Reports series gives serious, in-depth, yet highly readable treatments to hot topics kids hear or read about every day. Attractively designed with well-chosen stock photos, these excellent books will certainly be useful for reports; but, perhaps more important, they may well be picked up by readers who want to be better informed about current events—and they will be."
