The Exlosive World of Volcanoes with Max Axiom, Super Scientist by Christopher L. Harbo, illustrated by Tod Smith

A title in the Graphic Library series that introduces readers to the science of volcanoes through pictures and limited text and resembling a comic book format. Concepts are discussed using key terminology as well as graphs, charts, and diagrams to familiarize readers with the scientific tools of the trade. Some history is featured as the main character tours some of the most devastating volcanic eruptions of all time such as Pompeii. A great resource for education and entertainment, though this would be classified as leisure reading. Boys and girls in 3rd grade and up will find this text appealing.

Genre: Nonfiction
