Spooky Lakes: 25 Strange and Mysterious Lakes That Dot Our Planet by Geo Rutherford (2024)
#middlegradenonfiction #sciencebook #audiobook #dwreads25
Great palate cleanser between other books. At the end, even the author's acknowledgments were interesting. I kind of wished they were at the front of the book. My other rapid fire reactions:
- The author's name really is Geo. Her mother is a scientist. Astoundingly cool.
- Geo has a rich voice for narration. Well paced, easy to listen to. Those helped me enjoy the geographic and geological facts.
- Geo is a youtuber?! Every October, she does Spooky Lake Month https://youtube.com/@geodesaurus
- Most NOPE Lake? Mount Nyiragongo's lava lake in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When it erupts, this lava can flow up to 60 mph. Something about it has lower silicone content (don't quote me, read this book!) which makes it more fluid than most lava flows where you simply stroll to safety.
- I need to see this book in person! Other reviews praise the illustrations.
