Gr 7 Up—Varying subjects and viewpoints make this series on modern-day Israel comprehensive and informative. Benjamin Netanyahu, a biography of the country's current prime minister, along with Working Together, I Am Israel, and Cultures, Customs, and Celebration, examine history, leadership, and everyday life. Coverage is generally positive and includes Arab perspectives and criticism of Israeli policies and actions. Experience and Arab World, written by journalist and tour guide Zohar, are by far the strongest of the group. Arab World is a thoughtful and generally objective look at Israel's past and contemporary relations with its nearest neighbors and the Palestinians that live in and outside its borders. Experience is a fascinating country tour written by a lively and well-informed guide. Bright color photos and sidebars are a plus.
VERDICT The entire set is a sound choice for libraries that need in-depth report information about Israel. For libraries that don't need all volumes, Zohar's strong writing makes Experience and Arab World good standalone purchases.
