Where did Virginia Dare and the rest of the colonists of Roanoke
go? Did Anastasia Romanov escape being murdered by revolutionaries?
Weird Disappearances: Real Tales of Missing People, for readers
ages 9 to 12, features five true tales that examine moments in
history when someone vanished without a trace. These mysterious
disappearances are discussed against the backdrop of historical
circumstances, whether it be the upheaval of the Russian Revolution
or the blazing of a new trail high in the skies. This is the fourth
book in the new Mystery & Mayhem series, which features true
tales that whet kids' appetites for history by engaging them in
genres with proven track records-mystery and adventure. History is
made of near misses, unexplained disappearances, unsolved
mysteries, and bizarre events that are almost too weird to be
true-almost! Delving into these tidbits of history offers a jumping
off point into a lifelong habit of appreciating history. Each of
the five true tales told within Weird Disappearances is paired with
a map, as well as fun facts about the setting and time period.
These nonfiction narratives use clear, concise language with
compelling plots that both avid and reluctant readers will be drawn
to. Nomad Press books in the Mystery & Mayhem series introduce
readers to historical concepts and events by engaging them in an
extremely popular genre-real-life adventure and mystery. Readers
ages 9 to 12 are fascinated with the strange-but-true tales that
populate history, and books in this series offer compelling
narrative nonfiction paired with concise language that appeals to
both voracious and reluctant readers. Nomad's unique approach to
the study of history uses tantalizing tales based in factual
knowledge that encourage a lifelong curiosity in the historical
events that shape our world.
