      K-Gr 3-Fantastic photos and simple, easy-to-understand facts bring extreme sports to life for young readers. Adults will be pleased to see each volume begins with a warning about the hazards of extreme sports. Children will enjoy learning about the history, gear, and innovations of each. Particularly of interest was Rally Car Racing, which is underrepresented in nonfiction for young readers. Attention to the challenging mental aspect of rally car racing shows how different the sport is from the more mainstream NASCAR racing. This series does not feature many female athletes in the text and photos. Snowboarding Slopestyle is the exception, with the narrative briefly focusing on Jamie Anderson. VERDICT Great photos and the early reader-style text make this a strong contender for shelf space.
