Clueless About Cars: An Easy Guide to Car Maintenance and Repair (The Clueless series)
Adult/High School–Christensen discusses a car's systems, maintenance both by the owner and the mechanic, and emergencies. She explains how and why actions must be taken to insure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Environmental concerns are also considered. The clear, chatty voice is perfect for novice drivers, and the author makes no assumptions about prior knowledge. Catchy chapter titles such as "Going with the Flow," "Gettin' Down and Dirty," and "Rude Noises" draw readers into the text. The large, clear, black-and-white line drawings are well labeled, making it easy to visualize each system. Boxed inserts provide tips, historical tidbits, and checklists of things to remember. A resource that is sure to be popular.–Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
