Can your child solve these mysteries?

Do you know the story of the Mary Celeste? In 1872, this ship set sail, and it was found adrift less than a month later, with everything in order. The only thing was, all the people on board had disappeared! It was a sensation at the time, widely discussed in the press. No one ever found out what actually happened. I read this to many classes of 4th graders and thereabouts, and they loved trying to come up with an answer. This book would be even better with a parent and one or two kids: every page has fascinating detail, as well as side notes pointing out clues and giving information. At the end of the book is a list of possible things that might have happened, some silly and some reasonable. See if your children can solve the mystery of The Mary Celeste: An Unsolved Mystery from History! Some other books in the series are Roanoke: The Lost Colony--An Unsolved Mystery from History and The Salem Witch Trials: An Unsolved Mystery from History. These books are such fun to read, and in the process, kids are learning some interesting historical facts.
