About book Vanished True Stories Of The Missing (2010)
Even though this is only at a 4.4 reading level, the stories in it were amazing! I had never heard of Erica Pratt who was kidnapped at age 7 and freed herself, or the Real Indiana Jones Percy Fawcett who disappeared in the jungles of the Brazilian Amazon, or the naturalist Grant Hadwin, or the musician Henry Grimes that disappeared for 60 years and was found again playing in concerts, or another nature lover Everett Ruess who wrote in a letter "I have been free of watches and clocks. I never wonder what time it is, because for myself it is always time to live." And the last story is about Antoine de Saint-Exupery (who wrote one of my favorite stories The Prince) and was an aviator who disappeared on one last solo flight. This would be an okay book to read if you were just starting out to read chapter books, but for me, I found it quite dull. I thought that the little stories were like paragraphs that I had to write in school, except formed into a book. And there were many random facts and dates and names of people that I felt "took up space." (Meaning that I didn't actually feel like they were useful/interesting to the story.)But if you're interested in reading short stories about missing people, then go ahead and read this book.
