This easy-to-read description of MMA (or “mixed martial arts”) includes a lot of detail, about moves, rules and skills. This book should attract boys who are interested in martial arts, especially wrestling and MMA. The pictures alone are compelling, filled with action, bulging muscles, and physical contact. The words are easy-to-read and few. The font is a bit on the small side, and it is recommended that in future editions it be enlarged. But this is the real deal and it will appeal to boys who are interested in the subject. It also includes a glossary, bibliography, list of internet sites and index. Kennedy, Carol
