(4) YA Class series. These tie-in novels to the alien-focused BBC TV series Class follow a group of students at Coal Hill School who must solve mysterious occurrences. Ram wakes up in the wrong body thanks to alien technology in Joyride, and April discovers missing students were fighting an alien war in What. While the series' premise promises much, the multi-perspective stories are a mishmash of mystery and extraterrestrial encounters. Review covers these Class titles: Joyride and What She Does Next Will Astound You.

(4) 4-6 Dance Class series. Illustrated by Crip. These installments in the graphic novel series follow a group of teen dancers as they travel to St. Petersburg to perform The Nutcracker with the famous Mariinsky Theater (Russia) and then to London to audition for a holiday musical (Christmas). The humorous comic-strip vignettes are somewhat disjointed; friendship, dating, competition, and responsibility are themes throughout each volume. Review covers these Dance Class titles: A Merry Olde Christmas and To Russian, With Love.

(4) 4-6 Dance Class series. Illustrated by Crip. These graphic novels offer somewhat fractured comic strips loosely held together by the ballet class's (wacky) production of "Romeo and Juliet" and then their letting loose with African dance; the climaxes are both unexpected and humorous. The tiny cartoons of teen characters, focus on dating in the stories, and occasional innuendos are aimed at older middle-schoolers. Review covers these Dance Class titles: African Folk Dance Fever and Romeos and Juliet.

(4) 4-6 Fact Finders: Anatomy Class series. In each book, one-page introductions lead to four short chapters that take readers from the visible surface of the body into its core: the brain structures for Head and bone cross-sections for Skeleton. The simplistic texts are heavily illustrated with drawings, x-rays, and photographs that are not always well labeled. "Body Fact" trivia is included in text boxes. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Fact Finders: Anatomy Class titles: The Human Head and The Human Skeleton.
