Crime Scene Investigator (Cool Careers) (Library Binding)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3–5—These series entries explain in simple terms the duties and dangers of each line of work, as well as the personal qualifications and training required to take it up. The first title covers criminal investigations both on the scene and in the lab, with side notes on the (in)accuracy of the popular CSI TV shows, useful chemicals, and crime-scene types, from minor burglary to major bombings. The second book supplies information about fire watchers, "sawyers," "swampers," smokejumpers, and pilots. Both titles include simplified lists of specialized gear, full-color photos of workers in action, and multimedia resource lists. Both titles are routine assignment fare—good where needed for curriculum support but unlikely to kindle or feed an early interest in their respective occupations.—John Peters, New York Public Library
