Gr 6–10—Whatever happened to the colonists of Roanoke, Virginia? Did they vanish? Were they murdered by hostile Indians? Who built the giant monoliths on Easter Island? Where did the people come from and how did they get there? These titles offer well-researched and well-written explanations of the history, the facts, and the suppositions about these mysterious places. Each book includes enough information for reports and general-interest reading. Several different explanations of what possibly happened are discussed, with the author choosing the most likely scenario that fits the facts available. The illustrations include photographs and full-color archival drawings. Suitable for schools and public libraries.—Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA
