About this title

Reviews

Gr 3–6—Minimal text and a bold layout help set this series apart. Readers will be introduced to crop circles, Stonehenge, psychics, and many other topics through short paragraphs presented in text boxes surrounded by vivid images, drawings, and bright colors. The authors examine popular beliefs about these mysterious occurrences as well as skeptical explanations. For example, Atlantis may simply have been destroyed by a volcano and ships in the Bermuda Triangle may have sunk due to gas released from the ocean floor (or "ocean farts," as the book calls them). Students can check their understanding with comprehension questions. A glossary, index, and suggested sources are included. VERDICT The small chunks of text will make this series more palatable to readers who struggle to pay attention.
