The Big Book of Mysteries by Tom Adams

informative mysterious medium-paced

4.0


Some mysteries can never be explained. Others have simple explanations or have been proven to be a hoax. Where is Amelia Earhart? Who built Stonehenge? Are the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot real? Are there really aliens making crop circles? Can fish really rain from the sky?

Some mysteries have already been solved. We know what makes aurora in the sky. But other strange lights in the sky are still unexplained. We know that the Piltdown man was a hoax, but what about Atlantis?

It was so interesting learning about all the weird mysteries in the world! Every culture in history has had crazy stories that try to explain the inexplicable. It was also cool to see how some of the mysteries have been explained and proven with science.

This book includes sections about missing persons, disappearing places, ancient civilizations, strange beasts, UFOs, natural phenomena, mass hysteria, and human combustion, and codes and ciphers that have never been cracked.

The only section that I didn't like was the one about spirits and ghosts. I had to skip that chapter because it was too creepy.

I love the colorful illustrations on each page that show all the weird places, objects, and people. Each page has a great design using small paragraphs of text interspersed with the illustrations. It makes it easy to read, and really captures your attention.
