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.
