Gone--without a trace.
No one loves a mystery more than Elizabeth MacLeod, author of the
award-winning Bones Never Lie and Royal Murder. In her newest book,
she presents six compelling stories about some of the world's most
bewildering disappearances.
Readers will be captivated by such true tales as the Alcatraz prison
break, where three dangerous convicts engineered a daring escape. Did
they live to see freedom, or did they perish in the icy waters
surrounding the prison? And will anyone ever know what happened to the
captain and crew of the SS Mary Celeste? In 1872, it set out from New
York for Genoa, Italy, but everyone on board disappeared for no apparent
reason.
This irresistible combination of suspense and history also serves as an
introduction to the advances in technology that may help discover what
really happened in each unsolved mystery.
Filled with color photographs, sidebars, and maps, Vanished is the
perfect book for kids who love mind-boggling mysteries.
