Fun and Informative
This book was recommended by our 6th grade science teacher as an optional supplement since it breaks down concepts into fun, bite-size tidbits. My child enjoyed reading it on his own without any encouragement from his parents and didn’t put it down for several days.

Great book – buy this for your child – great for all middle school grades
Great book. Attractive enough to make you want to pick it up and read it. The graphics are colorful, the font is clear, and the highlights and titles are in bold print. Chapters are color coded. Check Your Knowledge questions and answer page included. Contents list all the units and it’s coverage. What makes this book stand out from all the others is that it includes all the important information broken down in easy to understand text and simple to read maps. It’s all you need to know and that’s it. There are a total of 5 subjects in this series: they include Math, Science, English Language Arts, World History, American History in the series and we have all of them. This is definitely worth the investment. Parents will find this book and series simple to explain to your child and/or read with them. Nothing complicated. Buy this book and the others in the series. I highly recommend it.

I ordered this book expecting a typical used copy, but it arrived looking absolutely brand new—no creases, no markings, not even a hint of wear. It was in such pristine condition, I had to double-check it was actually listed as “used”!My middle schooler has the full collection and was thrilled to add this one. He reads and refers to it often, and it’s quickly become one of his favourite.
