Blazers: Take Your (Equally Horrible) Pick! series.
Choose between two life-threatening scenarios: becoming trapped in a mine or a storm sewer; experiencing a wildfire or an earthquake; getting lost in the wilderness or at sea. The dangers of each situation are enumerated, but no techniques for preventing or actually surviving it are provided. Large, dramatic stock photos and an engaging layout enhance the slight text. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Blazers: Take Your (Equally Horrible) Pick! series.
Readers choose from eleven paired foods, presented with photos (and sometimes a warning!): tarantulas or scorpions? Sannakji (live octopus) or muktuk (raw whale blubber)? Lutefisk (dried fish soaked in water and lye) or goat's head? A final "rapid round" spread scrambles the foods and asks different questions. It's slight stuff, but kids may enjoy the debates--and queasiness--that ensue. Reading list. Glos., ind.
