Gr 4-8-These game guides, which feature good-looking design and prolific in-game screenshots, will be as readable as they will be popular. Clear writing takes the new Fortnite player through the initial, somewhat baffling phases of the game, while more experienced players will benefit from the organized approach to objects and materials. Fortnite content changes frequently (a new "season" starts every two months), but these books guard against obsolescence by explaining classes of objects and general methods rather than listing the properties of too many specific objects or moves. Additionally, readers will learn about the game's origin and evolution. Books about subjects familiar to the reader offer valuable experience with interrogating, informative texts. You can bet novice and veteran players will put these books through rigorous interrogation. VERDICT This attractive series lets the Fortnite fan be the expert.
