Illustrated by Gareth Conway, and designed to resemble a case file, fact fans aged seven and upwards will be enthralled and entertained by Mike Rampton’s Solve the World's Greatest Mysteries — an engaging non-fiction nugget that invites readers to weigh up the evidence and come to their own conclusions about twelve tantalisingly unsolved mysteries from across the globe and through time.
Covering Tutankhamen’s tomb, the Lost City of Atlantis, El Dorado, the Bermuda Triangle, Amelia’s Earhart’s fate, and more, each chapter provides pertinent background information before sharing why the case remains a mystery. After being presented with key theories to consider, readers are invited to answer the big question: What do you think is the truth?
Alongside being full of fascinating information that will thrill curious kids who love discovering fresh facts, Solve the World's Greatest Mysteries encourages readers to use their powers of reasoning. As such, in addition to being a great gift for fact-mad 7+year-olds, it comes recommended for primary school libraries.
