What Are Riots?

By Amy Holt

Book Overview

Watching a riot unfold can be a terrifying experience, especially if someone is close to the area where it is happening. Riots may seem like spontaneous, unpredictable events, but they are almost always a response to long-simmering tension. Understanding why riots happen is the first step toward preventing them in the future. Through informative fact boxes and vivid full-color photographs, enhancing the age-appropriate main text, this volume aims to educate young readers about what riots are and why they happen. This knowledge can mitigate the feelings of helplessness that come from facing the unknown.
