(4) YA Charities in Action series. This overview of various poverty-related charities, their missions, success stories, and case studies, as well as different volunteer opportunities open to individuals, could benefit from tighter organization. The information, while inspiring and engaging, bounces from topic to topic, and the many colorful sidebars do little to augment the main text. Photographs of communities in need add context. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
