Frightful Ghost Ships by James Roland -ADVISABLE

Roland, James Frightful Ghost Ships 32 pgs. Lerner, 2018.  $20.
This book presents a wide variety of ghost ships and provides historical information as well as conjecture. There are crew-less ships, burning ships, sunken ships and more. It provides a balance opinion of fact versus mystery that will keep students questioning. The pages have large bright photographs and images.
Students love books like this and I can see this book (and the series) being a popular read. Its spooky without being so creepy that parents would complain. I liked the history component, so at least there is some learning going on while the student is reading about ghostly stuff. It was interesting and intriguing.
