School Library Journal Review

Gr 6--9--Each title in the series focuses on the people of a country in relation to geography. The table of contents shows each title has 4--5 chapters with an introduction to the country today, the land and how it became the current nation, life today, the vibrant culture, and the future ahead. Several paragraphs of text are paired with smaller captioned color photos and infographics along with vocabulary in bold. Each chapter has at least one "Closer Look" and ancient history section to provide context from the past and present. The back matter has a glossary, a list of books and websites for further reading, and an index. The series is not afraid to discuss challenges like supporting senior populations in South Korea, climate change, slavery in connection of colonization, COVID-19, etc. While the amount of text may be overwhelming for some, the amount of information covered would be good for a school project. VERDICT A comprehensive country profile series, good for older students.
