Wretched Ruins

(4) 4-6 Scary Places series. Emphasizing the gory past of ancient cultures, this volume engagingly (if superficially) outlines the origins of eleven ruins, the stories of their discoveries, and the mysteries that continue to surround them. While the text focuses mainly on history, the double-page spreads reflect the series' hook, highlighting the places' sinister aspects through spooky photographs and skeleton-graphic sidebars. A map is appended. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
