Unearth the secrets of the mysterious giant stone statues on this tiny
remote Pacific island.
Easter Island, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles
from anywhere, has intrigued visitors since Europeans first arrived in
the 1700s. How did people first come to live there? How did they build
the enormous statues and why? How were they placed around the island
without carts or even wheels? Scientists have learned many of the
answers, although some things still remain a mystery. Megan Stine
reveals it all in a gripping narrative.
This book, part of the New York Times best-selling series, is enhanced
by eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map complete with four
photographs on the back.
