Amazing History Facts for Curious Kids (AGES 8-12): Weird, Wonderful, and Bizarre History Stories for Curious Minds Who Love Surprising Facts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249125653)

Most people think history is boring because they only see the long paragraphs and hard-to-remember dates in textbooks. But the truth is way more interesting. Behind those boring dates are real people who lived lives just as exciting as any movie character you can imagine.
This book was written for curious kids who want the "good stuff." We skip the lectures and get straight to the stories that make you say, "No way, that can't be real." You don't have to read it in order, either. You can jump to the chapter on lost cities under the sea, or head straight to the part about fashion fails where wigs were so big that mice lived inside them.
You will meet:

• Brilliant Inventors: Like the Persians, who built giant air conditioners out of brick and wind.
• Brave Kids: Like the sixteen-year-old girl who rode through a rainstorm to save her neighbors.
• Animal Partners: Like the pigeon that flew through a war zone to deliver a life-saving message.
• Survivors: Like the man who spent three days trapped in a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean.

History is happening all around us. It is the story of how we got here and why our world looks the way it does. Grab a copy, find a cozy spot, and let the adventure begin.
