Gr 7—9—These books provide overviews of human-rights issues and include case studies of real people struggling with HIV and AIDS, involved in human trafficking, and living as refugees. Numerous color photographs appear throughout, but most of those in AIDS are strictly filler. Occasional sidebars titled "What the World Thinks" attempt to give media coverage from varying viewpoints, but they are largely factual and do not give readers much to contemplate in terms of opposing opinions or biases. Time lines that run along the bottom of most pages distract from rather than add to the matter-of-fact texts. No sources are noted, making the books questionable for class assignments, and they don't make for compelling reading.—Marcia Kochel, The Galloway School, Atlanta, GA
