Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2--5--Fans of strange phenomena may often find that information about their interests is hard to unearth. While this series is generally well written, a few titles have text that reads as sentence fragments. Each volume is organized as a "guidebook" or "secret file." An introduction outlines the specific topic. "Classification" provides more information; "Declassified" adds details; "In Media" explains where the topic appeared in TV, news, movies, books, video games, or comics. Good-quality photos and illustrations are atmospheric. Cryptids includes a colorful spread of creatures from around the world. In the back matter, students can access additional information via the publisher's link and a QR code. VERDICT Recommended for school and large public library collections. Students may write about or discuss why some people dismiss inexplicable events and beings. Alternatively, students may select topics for "real, not real" debates. Best, weightiest titles: Lost Lands and Witches.
