(4) 4-6 Nine writers for young people (and one wilderness journalist) contribute the selections in this volume of putatively boy-friendly nonfiction accounts. About half the chapters recount historical or personal adventures; other topics include dental history, Jumbo the elephant, and growing up with brothers. The book as a whole won't appeal to any one reader, but every reader (girls, too) will find something to like.
