Gr 3–6—Cavelike tombs in Ireland, green children found in England, deserted ships, fish falling from the sky, and people poisoned from taking Tylenol are among the world's wide variety of unsolved mysteries. Each volume introduces five to seven mysteries, some well covered in other children's books and others less familiar. These selections include basic overviews of the situation, evidence, the major question or mystery, some of the past search for answers, conclusions, and the remaining unanswered questions. Some descriptions are a bit sketchy or vague. Some photographs, such as the tattooed corpse of the Siberian ice maiden, add a bit of information or intrigue. The discussion of the work of scientists is a bit of a bonus in Archaeological Mysteries. Some of the short bibliographies feature books from this publisher's other series, but others include recent, more informative titles. VERDICT This is a crowded field, but these quick reads are useful additions where more materials are needed.
