Reviews from Another Life
I have been reviewing books for many years. Here you can search for reviews of other titles by the authors, illustrators, poets and publishers featured on my ‘Reviews’ blog.
Real-Life Disasters
From the team that brought us ‘Real-Life Mysteries’, ‘Real-Life Disasters’ is an engrossing read which explores the facts behind some real life disasters like the sinking of the Titanic, the Bermuda Triangle and the Black Death.
Each disaster is clearly and concisely explained before it is further explored in a ‘disaster dossier’, including eyewitness accounts and maps showing the location of the event. The text encourages the reader to consider different theories, exploring the evidence and looking at how some newspapers reported information incorrectly. New vocabulary is introduced with each section and these are gathered together in a glossary at the end of the book.
Illustrated throughout, each section is clearly presented and easy to navigate, offering an absorbing read.
‘Real-Life Disasters’ would be an excellent addition to any book corner or library.
