In 2020, the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus emerged to cause a deadly infectious disease, COVID-19. Even with all the advantages of 21st-century science and medicine, human beings were unprotected, and COVID-19 caused illness, death, and economic destruction in pandemic proportions. The Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 explores the causes, spread, and effects of COVID-19 on people's lives, as well as efforts to treat the disease and halt its spread.

      Gr 6 Up-The books in this series provide a great deal of information about past pandemics and plagues. Each book explains the cause of the disease, its spread, efforts to treat it and stop its spread, and societal effects. While these books lack the interesting graphics found in other series, they do provide strong historical background for understanding how medical science has progressed in treating infectious diseases. Standout volumes include Bubonic Plague and the Black Death, which contains many quotes from archival accounts as well as discussion of different historical interpretations of past events. The Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 also contains numerous period photographs and quotes. VERDICT This series offers a solid historical background on different plauges, but offers fewer nonfiction features like case studies, graphs and tables, or spotlight features on scientists and historians. The information, however, is useful for inquiries and comparisons between past and present medical understanding.
