Lost Cities

by Jason Hook

Turn a child's fascination with the bizarre into a compelling reason to read. From mummies and monsters to lost cities and shipwrecks, these titles deliver page-turning chills. Numerous photos, illustrations, and historical maps support the text visually. Boxed insets highlight important facts, tell stories, and offer interesting side notes. Two pages each are devoted to facts, extended definitions, and mini-projects.
