Reviews

Despite the brevity of these titles, they provide adequate coverage and tantalizing information about topics that appeal to children. The short sentences are easy to read; the text is written in a conversational tone. The series describes possible logical, even science-based, explanations for phenomena. The overall design is attractive, enhanced by brooding photos and illustrations. The prose is set against colorful pages. Bright type is used in chapter headings, and some sentences are written in colored font for a dramatic, mysterious effect. The captions sometimes pose critical thinking questions. In most titles, a back matter page asks, 'Are ___ real?' According to the series, no one is sure, but alternative theories are proposed. A 'Close Encounter' section cites an alleged real-life experience with the particular phenomenon, and 'Terrifying Trivia' lists extra facts about the titular topic. VERDICT Informative, impressive material. Recommended for school and public library collections.--School Library Journal -- Journal (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)
