Budding Bermuda Triangle skeptics, alien investigators, and monster hunters take heed: the Unsolved! series is here to creep you out about all the weird things out there. A lively mix of photos and artwork is paired with straightforward text that conveys a sense of unease while working in the known facts, too. Mysteries of the Cosmic Joker is sort of the catch-all volume; it traffics in the rare (rains of frogs), the eerie (the 1898 novel that predicted the Titanic disaster), and the grim coincidences that never fail to amaze (like the two brothers killed one year apart by the same taxi). There is some topic overlap between books, but that shouldn’t hinder browsing. Vocabulary is explained on each page, and a brief index and list of further readings close. Grades 4-6. --Daniel Kraus
