they found some strange places. I think this is better for teen/adults.
Freaked out my tween. Think they were too young for content.
Weird = paranormal submitted by ssands on July 6, 2016, 6:47pm More than half of this book is about places associate with ghost stories or other paranormal spots. Some of these are really stretching to be included. Also in those sections most of the illustrations are drawings or manipulated photos of what someone imagines a ghost or monster looks like. The other half of the book is filled with oddball things like giant statues of golfers or loggers, the Heidelberg project, and unusual buildings.

Weird MI submitted by avrogers1 on July 26, 2023, 12:05am This is such a neat book. It has some really quirky stuff in it. I would like to see more places than stories tho. We actually visited the sculptures park in this book on one of our UP trips. It was really cool. We never would have found it , if the book hadn't mentioned it.
