Inside Interpol

April 1, 2019
Grades 5-8 This installment in the Covert Careers: Jobs You Can't Talk About series (6 titles) offers a thorough overview of what Interpol is, the people who comprise it, and how it accomplishes its tasks. After a brief explanation of the organization's inception, six- to eight-page chapters examine how Interpol works to investigate global crimes such as terrorism and trafficking. Bulleted sidebars distill complicated concepts, such as the main duties of Interpol officers, into outlines that readers can absorb at a glance. The busy, engaging design, which features white type on a black background and plenty of digital graphics, has a definite spy vibe. A few famous Interpol success stories and advice for landing a job at Interpol add an exciting real-life element to this guide for tweens, which provides insight into an under-the-radar career option.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
