Booklist - 05/01/2026 The Would You Rather? series (6 titles) takes a playful approach to learning, and this adventurous entry asks readers to weigh the risks inherent to navigating these terrains. Detailed maps, full-color images, and diagrams enhance understanding of the Challenger Deep, while statistic-studded text reveals the dangers and amount of training in store for those looking to summit Everest. Though many readers may recognize Mount Everest as the world’s highest mountain peak, they may be unaware of its precise elevation (29,032 feet) or that the Mariana Trench reaches an extreme depth of 35,876 feet. The section on the preparations necessary for tackling each environment offers valuable insights into the challenges of exploration. A fun, immersive way of discussing ecosystems and geography that encourages readers to flex their critical-thinking muscles. - Copyright 2026 Booklist.
