Title: A to Z of the Unexplained
Subtitle: A Primer for Young Readers Interested in Strange Phenomena
Author: Bret McCormick
Narrator: Terence West
Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 59 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-11-16
Publisher: Bret McCormick
Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena
Publisher's Summary:
Parents, do you have a child in your family who is particularly interested in flying saucers, ghosts, monsters, and other bizarre topics that fall outside the normal school curriculum? If so, congratulations. Chances are you have a son or daughter of above average IQ. The greatest minds of the 20th century - people like Einstein, Lilly, Heisenberg, Goodall, and Tesla - accomplished what they did because they were willing to "think outside the box" and explore the fringe regions of what we call "reality". Quantum physics and interspecies communication were "nonsense" and "mumbo-jumbo" before these far-sighted individuals had the courage to stand against prevailing scientific dogma. If your child is interested in this book, there's no guarantee he or she will be the next Einstein or Goodall, but it's a pretty good indication of blossoming intellect and curiosity. These should be nurtured.

Excellent Intro To Strange Phenomena for Kids
If you are an aficionado of strange phenomena, you will already be familiar with many of the topics in this fine book. It is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive in its coverage. What makes it different and desirable, even for the expert in weird phenomena, is its emphasis on critical thinking about unexplained occurrences. The author wrote the book primarily for young readers as an introduction to the many topics of strange and weird happenings in human experience. This is a perfect book for stimulating the interest of children and teens in strange topics. More importantly it fosters thinking skeptically but not dismissively about the unexplained. Children are naturally drawn to the odd, the eerie, the outré. But their encounters with these subjects in the movies or comic books usually donât provide explanatory context that will help them understand and think critically about these controversial concepts. That is the purpose of this book, and it does the job admirably. I canât think of a better way for young readers to be introduced to these subjects. The author provides young readers with just enough information to give them a basic understanding and to pique their interest in each topic. The audio version is read in a very stimulating manner. I wish this book had been available when I was a kid. I plan to buy a print copy for my ten-year-old grandson, and I anticipate some great bonding conversations with him thru this book.
