The Mary Celeste: An Unsolved Mystery from History

My 11 year old daughter enjoyed reading. She loves a mystery that is non fiction. Will buy more of Jane Yolen’s books.

A fascinating book to showcase to children the great mystery of the ship Mary Celeste. Beautiful vibrant drawings and awesomely told to express the unknown reality, the truths and the situations that make this old tale create itself over time, as one of the great unsolved realities of the sea. Perfect for children. A great history lesson for show and tale, or story time. It explores Mary Celeste in an easy tale so that children can follow along and be amazed with. Loved the conclusion of it going over all the weird theories of how, or what happened to the crew. It explores all the popular tales of just what took place. A wonderfully drawn, told tale of this great unsolved mystery that will never be forgotten by time. Highly recommend for kids and even adults, because I really enjoyed it while reading it to Godson. Fascinating in every way.

As a teacher, I bought this book because it fit nicely into not only the nonfiction section of my classroom library but the mystery section as well. I was impressed by the format: story text and notes to provide background knowledge. I used this as a read aloud in my classroom to show how questioning techniques help with comprehension. My students enjoyed the book and the illustrations were lovely.

Love this and can’t wait to read this the first few days of school. I think the students will really be engaged!

It was good, but it’s a childrens book, nice illustrations, good story. I gave it to my daughter who is a teacher and her class loved it. Happy with my purchase

Wonderful book as a read aloud for children.

Great condition

My child's teacher read this book to them at school (3rd grade). She came home talking about it asking us if we'd heard of the Mary Celeste. We had not and found it to be very interesting. It reviews different scenarios with regards to how the Mary Celeste ship disappeared. Very mysterious. Got it for her for Christmas last year to add to her book collection.

My grandson has been learning about mysteries including the Bermuda Triangle and Marie Celeste. He absolutely loves this book which is set out in a very child friendly way and fully explained everything he needed to know.

I give this book three stars firtly because it's a great book for children, secondly it has basic information and third it uses a story line to convay the information, it would have more stars had been for adults as I thought thats what i had brought. The Charity shop will apprecate it.

Goods as described. Fast shipping. Highly recommend

My students are OBSESSED with this book and the others in the same series. They love how it looks like a detective file and they recall what they have read with so much ease because they have been engaged in the book.

great book for kids....love the pictures and the way it was written
