      Grades 4-7 In the Max Axiom and the Society of Super Scientists series (4 new titles)--a subset of the long-running Max Axiom informational graphic novels--Max, a superhero-like scientist, joins forces with younger Lizzy and Nick (all three of whom have brown skin) and Spark the dog to investigate global scientific and environmental issues. Each volume starts with a dilemma that challenges the friends to research the science behind it and come up with possible solutions. Digitally rendered, action-packed scenes range from covering the scientists' work in the field to showing them gathering data in the lab, while colorful charts and graphs extend the science. In Food Scarcity and Hunger, the scientists look at how wildfires, flooding, drought, and other environmental changes create food scarcity. A round-up of related facts concludes each book in this engaging and accessible series.
