Full Text Reviews:
Booklist - 06/01/2025 In the News: Need to Know is a powerful, well-researched series (6 new titles) that introduces young readers to some of today’s most pressing and complex issues. Each book takes a real-world subject and breaks it down using clear, engaging language while encouraging curiosity and critical thinking. Censorship tackles the control of ideas, showing how books, songs, and even paintings can be restricted or removed from institutions, thus opening important conversations about freedom of information. With real news examples, dyslexia-friendly font, and relevant factual asides, this high/low series is successfully crafted for a broad range of ages, making it a solid resource for classrooms teaching research, media literacy, reading, and journalistic writing. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
