After Life

A nineteenth-century ship captain facing certain death at sea glimpses a ghostly figure guiding his ship to safety. Was it a pirate ghost, as the captain later claimed, or a hallucination brought on by extreme stress and dehydration? Eyewitness accounts of paranormal encounters like this one will entice and enthrall young readers. Short sidebars help develop critical thinking skills by prompting readers to consider alternative explanations, credibility of sources, and other elements of basic reasoning. Full-color illustrations and photographs, an annotated bibliography, and an index enhance each book.
