Strange but True: 10 of the world's greatest mysteries explained by Kathryn Hulick, Gordy Wright
alongreader's review against another edition

From Bigfoot to hauntings via Atlantis and alien abductions, this book aims to give possible explanations for some of life's biggest mysteries.
What a great book for any kids interested in this kind of subject! The illustrations are wonderful and the information is matter of fact without talking down to the reader. I love that the book never claims to have absolutely all the answers, it just says 'here's a possible explanation for this occurrence'. It's very cleverly done.
A fantastic read.

This was a cute piece of nonfiction for children discussing topics such as Atlantis and alien abductions. I think it would be a really great read for those reluctant readers in later elementary school and early middle school.
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

But that presented the basis information about «paranormal» stuff (ghost, alien, monsters, ancient civilization and more). All is well presented and easily explain for younger readers. Could be a good way to be introduced to those kinds of things. As an adult interest in this subject, I didn’t find any new stuff for me, but I don’t think it was the purpose of this book so it’s alright.

Well written with atmospheric illustrations! I would have liked more in depth treatment of topics but the book is more of an overview for younger readers. It's great to find a book about unexplained mysteries that is fact based instead of sensational. It's still a lot of fun and a quick read.
