  • Praise for Phenomena:

    "Students with an interest in the weird and unusual will find this book fascinating...Scientific explanations for many of the phenomena are evenly balanced with personal anecdotes from individuals with unusual experiences. The black-and-white illustrations and photographs are plentiful enough to make the text accessible to reluctant readers." --School Library Journal

    An NPR: Best Science Books of 2006 

    A Junior Library Guild Selection

    A New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age 2006

    An NCTE 2006 Orbis Pictus Honor Book for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children
