Not long ago, drones were considered futuristic, and few people had an opportunity to play with one. Most were reserved for professional purposes, but that's all changed! Today, anyone can buy and fly a drone right in their own backyard. Drones come in all shapes and sizes. Some drones cost hundreds of dollars, but others are much more affordable for the casual drone hobbyist. Readers will learn how drones fly and all the ways the average person can have fun playing with them. Photographs of hobby drones, as well as kids and adults using them, will excite and inspire young readers.

      Gr 2-5-For readers who are just getting into drones, this series is informative and fun. Not only can they learn about recreational uses of drones in Drones for Fun and Drones for Racing and Sports, but they can see how drones can be used by the police, military, and NASA to keep people safe while having robots conduct surveillance, check for bombs, and collect samples from uninhabitable places. Drones can help the environment, too, by planting trees, fighting forest fires, protecting wildlife from poachers, and even vacuuming trash out of the ocean. Personal drones are also used for great aerial shots, as discussed in Drones for Photography. The Federal Aviation Administration rules for drones are listed in the recreational books, and following the rules is emphasized. VERDICT With exciting writing, this is a fine set for all libraries.
