Editorial Reviews

"Intriguing, engaging, intelligently presented."—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

From the Publisher

11/01/2019

Gr 3–6—Historical, global, and pop culture references explain how people came to believe in and perpetuate these ideas; real-life examples are cited, including fascinating lore from other cultures. This balanced series offers various simple explanations so readers may consider phenomena from different perspectives. Interestingly, the series doesn't dismiss believers. Each volume claims no one is certain…and that explanations may not be real! "Do you believe in…?", the question at each title's conclusion, sums up the notion that some give credence to the phenomena, some don't, and there isn't enough evidence to really know. Sidebars and factoid boxes provide additional information. Frightening, brooding covers and artwork enhance the chilling atmosphere. VERDICT Intriguing, engaging, intelligently presented. These books could be used for pro-con debate topics. Spontaneous Human Combustion is particularly gruesome and could frighten younger students; best for the strong of stomach.
