From giant cyclopses to a chilling account of an authentic haunted house, what they read here will open kids’ eyes wide with surprise!
Official published review:
Everybody has read or seen or heard a ghost story or tale of some monster, this book uses science to explain some of the myths and legends behind them. It’s surprising how many genetic disorders can explain monsters and zombies. And the explanation of what a mummy’s curse really is is fascinating. Give this book a read if you’re interested in the facts behind the famous myths.
