The books' layout is less engaging than the subject matter; there are no illustrations and the pages of text may be daunting for reluctant readers. The writing, while accessible, is sometimes awkward in its melodrama (Jessica McClure: "a curious eighteen-month-old toddler with a near fatal attraction to an abandoned well"). Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these True Rescue Stories titles: True Ocean Rescue Stories, True Wilderness Rescue Stories, True Mountain Rescue Stories, and True Underground Rescue Stories.
