Description
A curious collection of the strangest places on Earth, from author-illustrator Sophie Burrows.
Get ready to explore some of the weirdest wonders on Earth! Such as-
A BOILING RIVER - this river in Peru reaches temperatures of 100 degrees celsius!
A PIRATE CEMETERY - located in Madagascar, this was the final resting place of many notorious pirates from the 16th and 17th centuries
A GIGANTIC MIRROR - the salt flats in Bolivia form a huge reflective surface that's visible from space!
A MAGNETIC MOUNTAIN - this slope in Australia has a mysterious force that causes cars to roll up instead of down.
As you journey through this book, you'll discover some of the strangest and most fascinating places on every continent. And sometimes, you'll travel back in time to discover the weird histories of these locations.
With hilarious comic-strip illustrations throughout, this quirky guide to the strangest stuff on Earth will surprise and delight curious kids aged 6+.
