Presents controversial facts about such famous disappearances as those of Judge Crater, hijacker D. B. Cooper, and the inhabitants of the Lost Colony, and allows readers to make up their own minds
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 6-8-- The first section of this book offers facts dealing with mysterious disappearances (D. B. Cooper, Amelia Earhart, etc.); in the second half, intelligent guesses are given as to what might have happened. The individual chapters are well written, giving all the basics; the unproven theories are nicely organized. However, there is no table of contents, and readers must flip the book over and open it from either side to follow through for each case. A fact index and black-and-white photographs fall in the middle. This division clearly separates truth from speculation, but makes it difficult to find correlating material and, therefore, confusing to read. An excellent bibliography gives further sources for each incident, but does not redeem the book. Daniel Cohen's Mysterious Disappearances (Dodd, 1976; o.p.) is a much better book on the same subject. --Kenneth E. Kowen, Atascocita Middle School Library, Humble, TX
