Starred review from April 15, 2019
Grades 7-10 *Starred Review* The Special Reports series (8 new titles) gives serious, in-depth, yet highly readable treatments to hot topics kids hear or read about every day.

Mass Shootings in America focuses on the disturbing history of these events, offering a well-rounded discussion of the Second Amendment and the passions raised by the issue of gun control. 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.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
