True Rescue Stories series Each volume in this well-organized series describes several true-life rescue stories. The books' layout is less engaging than the subject matter; there are no illustrations and the pages of text may be daunting for reluctant readers. The writing, while accessible, is sometimes awkward in its melodrama (Jessica McClure: "a curious eighteen-month-old toddler with a near fatal attraction to an abandoned well").
