This book has al sorts of cool places to go, maby even some near you! You will find all sorts of natural wonders, and it even has a packing list! If you are going on a road trip, some of these places would be good to stop at, and you would see unique things in obscure places, but they may be somewhere that is just plain normal, but what happened there wasn’t. From the Vashon Island Bike Tree, on Vashon Island in Washington State, to Door to Hell, in Turkmenistan. Amount others is The Lost City Of Heracleion in Egypt, ( it ended up underwater, probably because the ground it was on was unstable) and the Ōsterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Australia. You can find these amazing places all over the world. I would recommend this book if you are planning for a road trip or adventure and need ideas on where to go.
The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid
By Dylan Thuras, Rosemary Mosco
Journey to the World’s Most Mysterious Places
Created by the same team behind Atlas Obscura, the #1 New York Times bestseller that has over 600,000 copies in print in its first year, The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventuruous Kid is a thrillingly imaginative expedition to 100 weird-but-true places on earth. And just as compelling is the way the book is structured—hopscotching from country to country not by location but by type of attraction. For example, visit the site of the Tunguska event in Siberia, where a meteor slammed into the earth in 1908—and then skip over to the Yucatan, ground zero for the ancient meteor crash that caused the mass extinction of dinosaurs. Then, while in Mexico, tour the fantastical Naica caves, home to crystals ten times larger than the average person—then, turn the page to Vietnam to a cave so vast you could fly a 747 through it. Illustrated in gorgeous and appropriately evocative full-color art, this book is a passport to a world of hidden possibilities.
