Synopsis: Can people really sense the future? Or know what someone else is thinking, even if that person hasn't said a word? Read this book to find out! You'll also uncover freaky facts about an author who seemingly predicted the Titanic's sinking--fourteen years before it happened!--and a psychic medium who claimed to talk to Martians. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!

My Review: Another one that is great for the upcoming season of creepy! This title is all about ESP and wither or not its fact or fiction. We really enjoyed seeing how people of the past predicted things that happened very closely. It really makes you think that ESP could be real. The idea of twins being able to sense each other and more. This will get kids really asking questions about the world around them and what is real or could be real. Even though this book is only 35 pages its filled to the brim with information!!
"Gr 4-6–An appropriately named series that features just the right mix of history, mystery, and contemporary references for newly curious and seasoned skeptics alike. Chilling Ancient Curses covers the string of bad luck that followed those that disrupted King Tut's tomb, the owners of the Hope Diamond, and the recent lifting of the alleged curse from the Chicago Cubs. The series is accessible in length, depth, and interest level. Stock photographs and digital embellishments (backgrounds, borders, etc.) do nothing to make the volumes stand out visually, but the information and back matter make the series a solid introduction to informational text for reading groups or individual interests. VERDICT Purchase where elementary collections are lacking paranormal subject matter that covers a range of ages and reading abilities."―School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
