(4) 4-6 Atomic series. Twelve tales of escape involving different levels of personal risk (from Houdini's escapes to that of hiker Aron Ralston, who was forced to cut off his own arm) are recounted in double-page spreads. The busy layouts include eye-catching photos and text boxes. The slanted text may be difficult for struggling readers. Though light on substantial information, the book is engaging. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
