Lost Cities

by Natalie Lunis

Some cities that once thrived have now disappeared, the sites sometimes turning into empty, ominous ruins. What dark secrets are hidden in these vanished cities? In this book, readers will explore the mysteries of the world's most famous lost cities and learn how these intriguing places were rediscovered. Among the 11 spooky places highlighted are the abandoned remains of a futuristic vacation town that was said to be cursed, and the crumbling ruins of an industrial town on an eerily deserted island. Fascinating histories and haunting photographs will keep kids turning the pages for more. Lost Cities is part of Bearport's Scary Places series.

[RumBelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an interesting book concerning real, and fictional lost cities. It took you on an around the world journey to places like Ukraine, Micronesia and even Atlantis. Each city was described, and some of it's history was chronicled. The text is geared toward upper elementary age and up.

The illustrations were mostly photos, but where the city didn't actually exist, like Atlantis, it was drawings.

This book made you want to investigate these places more, the mark of an excellent book, making you want to read more.
