Capstone picked up the pace at ALA's recent midwinter meeting with two new additions to its popular high-interest Velocity Imprint for middle schoolers. Hip-Hop World, which features four titles, explores the history, culture, fashion, and stars of this mainstream movement. And the newly released Bad Guys--another four-book series--delves into fascinating tales of history's bad guys, from traitor Benedict Arnold to murderer Charles Manson. Both series feature lively text and edgy visual design to hook reluctant middle school readers.
