Series Review: In the News
"The books would make great discussion starters for a social studies class looking at any of the topics and may make students more aware of those around them."
--Library Media Connection

Book Review: Egg Donation
"Egg donation is a controversial subject these days, and this book helps to explain the reasons and risks behind the procedure. Using plain text, the author describes the procedure itself in easy-to-understand but thorough terminology. She also describes several reasons for donating the eggs and for needing donated eggs. All in all, while geared to a younger audience, this is a great introduction to the medical procedure, and it presents both sides of the controversy. It is a good research tool."
--Carolyn Bason, Denton High School, Denton, Texas
