Themes: Hi-Lo, headlines, nonfiction, disasters, world events. This series of nonfiction readers will grab a student's interest from the very first page! Designed with struggling readers in mind, these riveting 92-page softcover books offer short chapters on significant disasters. Each chapter is its own mini-book, which includes a timeline, key terms, and interesting facts. Fascinating black and white photographs keep the pages turning. A bibliography encourages further topical reading. Disasters are inherently frightening, riveting, and involving. Grabbed straight from the headlines, these disasters leave tragedy, destruction, and years of anguish: London Bridge, The Morro Castle, Chicago, The Iroquois Theater, Australia's Bush Fires, The Station Nightclub, The West Burns, and more.
