REVIEW
The world is full of fascinating mysteries, some of which people have found answers to and some where the answers remain elusive. I, for one, enjoy reading and thinking about some of these mysteries. Since history is a topic that many children consider 'boring,' I'm always happy to find books like this one that demonstrate beautifully that history can be fascinating and mysterious. The book is divided into seven chapters: Creepy Creatures, Vanishing Acts, Unexplained Occurrences, Strange Sites, Unusual Objects, Curious Curses, and Unnatural Nature. Each chapter than addresses two or three specific mysteries including creatures such as bigfoot and mothman, or lost cities or strange physical creations. The book presents evidence and photographs to explain each mystery and the clues available, but leaves the reader to decide what to believe about it. A fascinating book perfect for young readers who love to read about real-life mysteries.
