Gr 4–6—Titles in this series combine historical facts with the History Raider narrator. Madison Maverick, a Lara Croft type explorer, encourages readers to "jot down evidence" and try to solve the mysteries using details from her field notes. A "Mystery Solved?" section in the back matter allows readers to compare their own conclusions with that of experts. Photographs accompanied by detailed captions show the treasures of the pyramids, the walls of Angkor Wat, and other sights. The mysteries are chosen from around the world and throughout various time periods. Each book offers theories and the facts known so far. Methods used for current exploration such as LIDAR, drones, and DNA testing are also explained. Books and websites for further investigation are suggested. VERDICT Whether students are interested in the Bermuda Triangle or the lost Princess Anastasia, they will enjoy the interactive way the material is presented.
