Gr 1–3—An overview of the topic of supernatural sightings. The series asks, "Are they real?," providing emerging readers with an opportunity to navigate informational texts and draw their own conclusions. Each book pairs large, glossy photographs with short sentences to highlight scientific investigations and make text-to-reader connections. Each volume ends with an activity to try at home.
VERDICT Excellent for individual interests or small reading groups, especially as an introduction to nonfiction features.
