The Danger Zone

The Danger Zone

The Danger Zone is an on-going series of illustrated children's non-fiction books published in the United Kingdom by Book House, an imprint of the Salariya Book Company. Numerous non-English language versions are also available. The same series is published in the USA by Scholastic under the name You Wouldn't Want to Be.

The series is intended to interest young children in history, by combining a factual eyewitness narrative with cartoon-style illustrations. It has become widely used in UK primary schools, as many of the titles are appropriate to the teaching of KS2 history. The books are written by different authors (Mark Bergin, Peter Cook, Meredith Costain, Michael Ford, Ian Graham, Jen Green, Peter Hicks, Colin Hynson, Andrew Langley, Fiona MacDonald, John Malam, Rupert Matthews, Jacqueline Morley, Jim Pipe, Thomas Ratliff, Kathryn Senior, David Stewart), and are illustrated by David Antram, with the exception of "Avoid sailing on the Mayflower" which is illustrated by Kevin Whelan, and "Avoid fighting in the First Crusade" and "Avoid Sailing with Captian Cook", which are illustrated by Mark Bergin.
