Some are forces of destruction, sweeping away everything in their path, while others are lifelines, sustaining civilizations for millennia. And some are both, bringing prosperity and devastation in equal measure. From deadly whirlpools to lost cities submerged beneath their waves, these rivers challenge everything we think we know about the natural world. There are rivers that catch fire, rivers that boil, and rivers so deep they seem bottomless. Some slither beneath the ground you stand on, while others vanish without a trace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Who knew rivers could be so . . . spooky? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From Geo Rutherford--the creator of the hit series Spooky Lake Month (over 79 million likes!)--comes this thrilling nonfiction book that follows the winding histories of 25 mysterious rivers around the world.
