Backpack Books is a handsome and easy-to-handle series featuring facts on various subjects. Rocks and Minerals, Insects, and Ancient Egypt are lavishly illustrated and provide the YA with a table of contents, a detailed list of facts, and a lengthy reference section. While the series is intended for children, it is suitable for young YAs. Readers will discover who invented concrete, what minerals are found in a car, what kitchen equipment the ancient Egyptians used, and how to capture and study insects. The series is highly recommended for its illustrations and careful research. Janet Julian, Grafton, MA
