Stilted language manages to dull the exciting stories of the early Spanish explorers. Neither the sidebars nor the paintings, photos, or other visuals (all well reproduced) offers much in the way of relief from the static texts. Multiple-choice comprehension questions are included at the end of every few chapters. Timeline, reading list, websites. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Explorers of New Lands titles: Ferdinand Magellan and the Quest to Circle the Globe[c1], Hernando de Soto and His Expeditions across the Americas[c1], Hernando Cortes and the Fall of the Aztecs[c1], Christopher Columbus and the Discovery of the Americas[c1], Marco Polo and the Realm of Kublai Khan[c1], and Francisco Coronado and the Seven Cities of Gold.] (c) Copyright 2010.
