Synopsis
Thunderbirds, Phantom Cats, Owlman, and Chupacabras: since the beginning of time, these and other mystifying creatures have appeared in tales from around the world. And every year, more and more people report new sightings. Meet some of the most fascinating mythical monsters from the sea and the sky, from snowy mountains to tropical jungles. Wandering across these pages is an amazing menagerie of strange apes, like Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, and Yowie; serpents from the oceans and lakes, including the legendary Nessie; things with wings that just might be flying dinosaurs; feline creatures; and giant turtles and other big and unusual beasts. In addition to a history of each remarkable animal, there’s speculation on the truth behind the legend.

From School Library Journal
Grade 5–9—These books discuss some of history's most mysterious and alluring topics in a splashy, browser-friendly format. Mutants includes the requisite strange apes, sea monsters, "things with wings," phantom cats, and other mysterious monsters such as the Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil. Sidebars feature famous hoaxes, questionable extinctions, and miscellaneous monsters. Retro-style line drawings colored with smudgy turquoise, orange, and olive green appear throughout. Paint-spattered archival photographs further enhance both mood and content. The authors openly aim to dramatize the presentation and pique readers' interest, not to dispel myths with hard facts. Alcatraz covers the essentials: the founding of the Rock, famous prisoners, attempted escapes, and the 1969-71 American Indian Movement occupation. Throughout, the author amps up the drama with juicy chapter headings ("The Indians Have Landed!"), full-page text excerpts in an oversize font, and sidebars printed on streaks of red paint. The sidebars address topics such as children of Alcatraz, inmates who went insane, and a spooky haunting. This punchy new series has strong browser appeal and should lead researchers to more in-depth treatments such as Marilyn Tower Oliver's Alcatraz Prison in American History (Enslow, 1998) or "The Unexplained" series (Edge Books).—Amy Pickett, Ridley High School, Folsom, PA
