I found the book North Korea to be very educational as well as attractive for middle school readers. The book covered various topics such as daily life, The Korean War, wildlife, sports, food, etc. Our 6th graders do a research project every year on countries. The Countries Around the World series would be a good choice for them to use as it provides several facts and colorful authentic photographs. The timeline and fact file were both easy to utilize and provided a quick reference guide. -- Kathleen M.
