Editorial Reviews

04/01/2020

Gr 5–9—Current political topics are explored in these four informational volumes. All books contain up-to-date information and facts, but they are far from comprehensive. The authors convey strong convictions: Pharmaceutical companies are the primary cause of opioid addiction; hate crimes are mostly committed by white supremacists; and undocumented immigrants are largely responsible for the successful economy. She/He/They/Them devotes several pages advising how the LGBTQ community should be addressed and treated. VERDICT She/He/They/Them is the standout title in this series. However, readers seeking more balanced information on complex issues covered in the books will need to look elsewhere.
