(4) YA Material Matters series. Crammed with bits of information, these books are accurate, though such a pastiche hinders clear understanding of these complex subjects. Photos, charts, diagrams, sidebars, and cross-references extend the text, which is made up of short sentences designed not to tax reluctant readers. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Material Matters titles: Acids & Bases; Chemical Reactions; Metals; Mixtures, Compounds & Solutions; Nonmetals; and States of Matter.
