      Gr 3-8-This series describes the seven wonders of the modern world. Each title contains five chapters, with colorful pages. Captioned photographs are accompanied by a short paragraph. "Think About It" questions are sprinkled throughout the narrative. The text examines the past and present and also compares and contrasts similar structures to the main subject, such as El Castillo in Mexico and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. There are also popular culture references, such as LEGO making a Taj Mahal model, which offer readers further opportunity for engagement and connection building. Although more could be written for each of the seven wonders, the series emphasizes the meaning and nuance of each of these landmarks. A glossary and further reading, which can be done via books or a website, are included. VERDICT A good resource that provides accessible information.
