(4) 4-6 Shadow Squadron series. Illustrated by Wilson Tortosa & Benny Fuentes. In two fast-paced, easy-to-read episodes, a special ops military unit attempts to infiltrate enemy territory in Afghanistan and Iran to apprehend terrorist suspects threatening U.S. security. Tense computer-game-style illustrations show the Shadow Squadron fighting off enemy attacks; glossaries precede each chapter to define key words. There's no character development, but the high-energy, non-stop action will appeal to the series' fans. Review covers these Shadow Squadron titles: Dragon Teeth and Long Shadow.

(4) 4-6 Shadow Squadron series. These books star an elite U.S. military special ops force. In White Needle the squad prevents Syrian rebels from using stolen chemical weapons. In Phantom Sun it saves eight American scientists held hostage in Antarctica by Russian forces. Designed to resemble classified military reports, the high-octane stories are accompanied by action-packed illustrations. There's not much character development, but that's not the point. Review covers these Shadow Squadron titles: Phantom Sun and White Needle.
