James Roland is a lifelong journalist who found his niche covering education and health. In his spare time, he loves writing books for children.

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
