Mummies Exposed!: Creepy and True

Mummies Exposed! is a fascinating look at the subject, at an appropriate level to maintain the interest of an upper-elementary or middle school level. The book covers mummies from all over the world, and is complete with many photographs. As always, digging up the dead - no matter how old - comes with a certain amount of controversy as many cultures and religions find it extremely disrespectful. The author has managed to cover both the science and the cultural implications with a sympathetic viewpoint. Also included is an extensive bibliography in the back, quite impressive for a book of such small scope. While there are quite a few different mummies covered, the details are somewhat sparse (as suits the age level the book is targeted at). But, the bibliography gives an excellent starting point for further reading for either kids or adults.Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review!Blog Twitter Bloglovin Instagram
