The second volume in Joy Hakim’s Discovering Life’s Story series is another winner. The engaging, informative and succinct text paired with plenty of full-color illustrations, photographs and sidebars are a trademark of her books. This volume covers the period of time from 1750 to the late 1800’s, when the concept of evolution was theorized and studied. This will be a welcome installment of the series on any library shelf. The target audience is late elementary/middle school, but will be enjoyed by younger or older readers as well.

5 stars
