Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8--Fine offers a straightforward look at this dangerous profession. Chapters describe what is at stake with the reality of terrorism, necessary training, a typical day on the job, and the new technologies of bombs and bomb-detection devices. The sections are introduced with boldfaced headlines and the writing is clear and accessible to reluctant readers. The graphics and black-and-white photographs that appear throughout are crisp and interesting. A solid introduction to a timely topic.--Karen Hoth, Marathon Middle/High School, FL
