[Karrie Winkelman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the perfect book to put a student to the test on how to navigate nonfiction books. It has every text feature of a nonfiction book - diagrams, captions, graphs, charts, definitions, and even graphic novel pieces. The pictures, diagrams, and charts are especially helpful in understanding the intricacies of a drone. The animations are helpful to understand how a drone can help citizens and pushes the reader’s imagination to possibilities beyond just personal use. It is for sure a high-interest novel that will teach anybody (especially boys) something new about drones!
