Leo Geo and His Miraculous Journey Through the Center of the Earth by Jon Chad

3.0

This is a super quick read, and it's cute for kids 7-11 (or so). The format is really unique (long & narrow, read from top to bottom), and I think kids would really like it, but I mostly thought it was awkward. There's a lot of great information here, and I would definitely use this in a 4th or 5th grade unit on the layers of the earth, and it could be a good exercise in fact vs fiction. However, as an adult reading this, there is no real plot or sense of urgency or desperation; it kind of reminded me of the "plot" of Where's Waldo's adventures. I'm not sure this is something that would bother the target audience, though.
