Murder and mayhem; some families are going to love this series, and
some are going to be appalled. Criminal activity should turn your
stomach and break your heart. But praise God that for a select few it
also fuels their fire to see justice done.
In this six-book series, children will learn how evidence is collected
for a trial, how just a single bone can reveal much about a murdered
victim, how to search a crime scene for data, how guns and bullets are
analyzed, how studying the features of a crime can identify the
culprit, and how even the most minute
traces of information can lead to a conviction.
The word "graphic" in the title refers to the realistic illustrations
because most children (and adults) are visual learners. Not only do we
learn better through the use of pictures, but illustrated books such as
these allow even a hesitant reader access to a topic that is at that
child's interest level and written at a level that the child can
understand to encourage reading. Teens in particular are more apt to
want to read a book if it is not only at their reading level but also
at their interest level. And these books are genuinely fascinating.
Published by a secular company, they are surprisingly
discreet in the handling of the different situations, with no nudity,
and no unnecessary details. Forensic Science is an indisputable
science, no one can read these books and not learn something. Yes, the
topic is gruesome, but the profession is honorable and necessary this
side of heaven.
