Reviews
By now, there are more paranormal kids’ books than there are documented paranormal experiences, but the Unexplained: What’s the Evidence? series carves a welcome niche by introducing a healthy dose of skepticism. The design here is clean and works in concert with short sentences and brief “Q&A” factoids. Are Haunted Houses Real? speaks of creepy goings-on from ancient Greece to the infamous Winchester mansion. Emphasis is put on hoaxes, including a teen in 1997 who had reporters going gaga for his invented ghost. The series’ major weakness is a periodic disconnect between the text and associated photographs—some are unrelated and might mislead. Overall, though, this is solid stuff for teaching high-interest critical thinking. Grades 1-3. --Daniel Kraus
