AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Another addition to the popular Who? What? Where? series,
this book is a nice introduction to the stories and theories about the Bermuda
Triangle. The earliest story tells the tale of Columbus getting stuck in the
area for weeks. Though he was eventually able to continue on his way, others
have not been so lucky. Missing crew, missing ships, and missing airplanes are
all part of the long list of travelers who have entered the triangle only to
vanish. Possible theories range from alien abductions to kidnappings by
citizens of the lost city of Atlantis. A librarian and other researchers have
found rational reasons for many of the disappearances. But some of the
mysteries are still unsolved. For students new to the history of this
phenomenon, this is a worthy introduction.
