Federal Protectors (Protectores federales) - School Library Journal

These six volumes, highlighting the various federal agencies created to protect people and tackle crime, provide a basic introduction for young readers. Both facts and figures are included; for example, one role of U.S. Marshals is to locate missing children, the FBI was formed in 1908 to investigate crimes, and the FPS was created to guard federal buildings. Training and educational requirements are highlighted as well. The narratives are straightforward and informative, and photographs of agents in action accompany the text. All in all, these titles provide solid introductions to these important s­ecurity providers. ­VERDICT The accessible narratives and interesting subject matter should entice young readers, and librarians should consider where there is a demand.
