(4) 4-6 Graphic Library: Science of Sports with Max Axiom series. Illustrated by Caio Cacau. A "super scientist" equipped with gadgets and superpowers explains the physics of familiar sports, deconstructing action shots with "voiceovers" and cutaways that enhance readers' sports knowledge while offering accessible, engaging explanations of key physics concepts. Unfortunately, extraneous information and shoehorned-in narratives dilute the books' usefulness and appeal. Additional sports facts are appended. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Graphic Library: The Science of Sports with Max Axiom titles: The Science of Football with Max Axiom, Super Scientist and The Science of Hockey with Max Axiom, Super Scientist.
