The High Score and Lowdown on Video Games! by Stephen Krensky -- ADVISABLE

Krensky, Stephen The High Score and Lowdown on Video Games! (History of Fun Stuff), illustrated by Scott Burroughs. NONFICTION. Simon Spotlight (Simon & Schuster), March 2015. $3.99. Content: G.

This nonfiction reader tells the history of video games, from the non-battery-powered chess and checkers, to the first computer game, to such modern offerings as Farmville, Angry Birds, and Candy Crush Saga. This would work well for a research project, or for students who would rather play on their phones than pick up a book but still need to get some reading time in.

EL, MS -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
