Reviews
Gr 4-6-An appropriately named series that features just the right mix of history, mystery, and contemporary references for newly curious and seasoned skeptics alike. Chilling Ancient Curses covers the string of bad luck that followed those that disrupted King Tut's tomb, the owners of the Hope Diamond, and the recent lifting of the alleged curse from the Chicago Cubs. The series is accessible in length, depth, and interest level. Stock photographs and digital embellishments (backgrounds, borders, etc.) do nothing to make the volumes stand out visually, but the information and back matter make the series a solid introduction to informational text for reading groups or individual interests. VERDICT Purchase where elementary collections are lacking paranormal subject matter that covers a range of ages and reading abilities.--School Library Journal, Series Made Simple -- Journal
