SCRAGG, Hailey . Mysterious Locations . ISBN 9781731643322 . SCRAGG, Hailey . Places of Legend . ISBN 9781731643339 . SCRAGG, Hailey . Underground Cities . ISBN 9781731643308 . ea vol: 32p. (Hidden, Lost, and Discovered). Rourke / Escape . Jan. 2021. Tr. $28.50. Gr 3-4 This series chronicles mysterious places throughout the world. Each title starts with a table of contents and a color-contrasting map that labels the places covered within the text. Short paragraphs in black are placed on full-page photographs, where each section's color theme corresponds to color on the first map. Within each book are sidebar facts and vocabulary words defined on the same page on which they are used. Connecting past cultures, abandoned places, legends, and underground cities allows readers to see history frozen in time, such as the ghost town in Bodie, CA ( Abandoned Places ). Although more could be written for each of the locations discussed, the series offers intrigue in an easily read format, taking time to show the many questions the past has left behind. The back matter includes a memory game, index, after reading questions, and an activity. VERDICT A fun resource for mid-elementary readers who need a spark of curiosity about the world.
