      Gr 4-7-The alarming frequency of natural disasters makes this a timely series to consider. Each title first focuses on the environmental conditions that lead to the titular event before segueing to information about how technology helps scientists predict an event, and how readers can prepare and survive. Each title provides a list of safety tips, potentially comforting and empowering for students worried about extreme weather. Highlighted text areas draw attention to particular disasters in history, while photographs and illustrations add visual interest. VERDICT A fine mix of survival tips and scientific content makes this appropriate for middle grade students.
