      Gr 5-8-These titles bring to light the complicated events stemming from a devastating day in American and world history. The "Then and Now" aspect is interesting to see after 20 years. In American Leaders, George W. Bush is the "then" on the cover, while Joe Biden is the "now." The writing is accessible. Each book is short and the type size is quite large, which might make this superficially OK for a younger audience, but the content and language are for older readers. Abject despair is shown in many of the photographs, which complement the text. Time lines, glossaries, indexes, and resources finish off the books. VERDICT Thorough and worthy for libraries serving middle schoolers.
