This nonfiction title is part of the "True Books” series and follows the same format. Opening pages give readers two statements, one that is false and one that is true. Readers are then challenged to read the book and discover the true statement for themselves. This book is about the Apaches. It begins with a map that shows Apache settlements in the 1800s and the locations of present-day reservations. Subsequent pages provide information on Apache culture, history and well-known warriors and leaders. The brief, heavily illustrated book is written with intermediate readers in mind. Eye-catching fonts and numerous captioned illustrations are scattered throughout and the data given is most useful for middle grade research and reports. Back matter includes an index, a timeline, a glossary and resources. This title would be a good choice for school and classroom libraries and an excellent resource for social studies teachers.
