The information found in this book is well done and makes good arguments for both sides of the debate. It is written at about a second-third grade level, and has helpful tidbits throughout to teach kids how to make a good argument. However, it seems like the publisher used the cheapest stock images it could find. For example, when talking about the ESRB ratings, show a nice big close up of the rating label. Instead, this book shows a picture of 10 year old games sitting on the shelf were the reader is barely able to read the label. Plus, almost every pictures shows games with wired in controllers. Those are not so easy to come by, and most of the kids reading this book and playing these games are not using a wired controller. The book mentions at least once, mobile games, but other than that does not take into consideration video games on smart devices that don’t have ratings. Overall, this book feels 10 years old, and already out of date. ( )
