4-6Scary Places series.
After brief introductions, double-page spreads focus on specific archaeological finds or sites; each volume concludes with a map showing the locations. Though the busy design--featuring photographs, illustrations, and text boxes atop blurry, eerie backgrounds--strains misleadingly for spooky effect, the text itself is informative and focuses on facts rather than speculated paranormal activity. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Scary Places titles: Lost Cities and Mummy Lairs.
