Atlantis: The Story of the Lost Continent probes the question of truth or myth. Follow the evolution of a mystery that has captured the human imagination from ancient Greece to the present. These stories testify to the courage of the human spirit. These 48-page books about fascinating subjects like pirates, mummies, and volcanoes are for proficient readers who can understand a rich vocabulary and challenging sentence structure.

I did not like this book at all. Although it may be informative, there was nothing to draw me in. It is full of information, but there is not anything to keep me interested. There is no use teaching a book that will not be enjoyable. I do not think I would use this in my classroom. If I did, it would be to aid in a project where I need to know something specific about the question of Atlantis.

Reads a bit like a mystery, showing why we thought Atlantis might be in one place, and then telling us what it is that we found out to show us that it wasn't. A good overview, and quite interesting. The kids are impressed that we still don't know if it's real or not.

For sure use some youtube videos about Atlantis with this topic
