Floating Skeletons (XBooks): A Small Town Is Awash in Bones

Who will put the dead back to rest?

It's the Great Flood of 1993, and much of the Midwestern U.S. is covered with water. But tiny Hardin, Missouri, is covered with something much, much worse: dead bodies.

High-interest topics, real stories, engaging design, and astonishing photos are the building blocks of the XBooks, a new series of books designed to engage and motivate reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike. How can DNA help a convicted person prove their innocence? How did a burglar steal from a store without leaving any fingerprints? Why was the tiny town in Hardin, Missouri, awash with skeletons after a huge flood? With topics based in science, these action-packed books will help students unlock the power and pleasure of reading... and always ask for more!
