Gr 3–4—Seven or eight brief accounts in each title introduce legendary and real creatures and places from around the world. ("The ghost of a boy dressed in blue wakes visitors with his screams. A ghostly woman appears in the pantry.") The haunting of England's Chillingham Castle and many other subjects here are not very high on the scary scale, though there are a few creepy stories. Ghosts includes Al Capone playing a banjo, the Flying Dutchman, and George Washington. Snake Island in Brazil, Malaysia's bat-and-centipede-filled Gomantong Cave, and the Paris Catacombs are covered in Places. The yeti, bunyip, chupacabara, and mythical Minotaur are found in Monsters. Stories introduce folktales, urban legends, poltergeists, and UFOs. Five to eight sentences of text and facing photographs are inset with word definitions andm bits of explanation. VERDICT With a solid amount of variety, this series will serve well in collections where the paranormal is popular.
