School Library Journal - 04/01/2021 Gr 2–4—Gearheads will gravitate toward this aesthetically appealing, well-written series. Aside from just learning more about the provenance of each iconic muscle car, readers will get interesting facts from their history. For instance, Chevrolet, one of America's first big automobile companies, transitioned to making supplies for the U.S. military during World War II and its Corvette was named after a small warship. The Dodge Charger was such an unbeatable car that NASCAR banned it from racing in 1971. With the invention of the Mustang, Ford created a whole new class of automobiles: pony cars. Many of the vehicles have been used often in pop culture, mostly in movies and TV shows like Transformers and the Fast and Furious franchise. "Fast Facts," "Car Engines 101," and time line sections give browsers a quick overview of the contents. VERDICT A great first purchase for most libraries. - Copyright 2021 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
