The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda triangle is an area in and over the Atlantic Ocean from Florida, east to Bermuda, south to Puerto Rico and back to Florida.  Mysterious disappearances without satisfactory explanations have occurred in this section for over a hundred years.  Some of the more memorable events are mentioned.  Possible explanations range from stormy weather to aliens.  McClellan does not emphasize any proposed answer.  Basic information presented in simple text with large font.  Many pages include short additional fact boxes.  Photographs are interesting and the layout is pleasing.  Six famous disappearances are listed in the back with the glossary, index, and website.  Recommended books are written at a higher reading level but may still offer appropriate additional information.  Although this book does not include a wealth of details, it does offer enough examples to pique curiosity and encourage further reading.
