As the parent of a ten-year-old, I've thoroughly enjoyed Stephanie Bearce’s “Twisted True Tales from Science” series, which is jam-packed with interesting stories for both kids and adults.
DISASTER DISCOVERIES is broken into three sections: “It’s Earth’s Fault,” “Humans Caused It,” and “Disaster Daredevils.” Each section contains short, easily digestible chapters and hands-on activities in the “Science Lab.”
In addition to such disasters as earthquakes, tsunamis, and raging wildfires, readers learn about killer lakes, killer fog, and even killer molasses. These stories are bizarre, heartbreaking, and completely fascinating.
DISASTER DISCOVERIES is an excellent addition to any home or school library!
