Review: The Vanishing
The Vanishing is one of four books written by Mark Greenwood for the History Hunters series.
The Vanishing delves into the 1978 unsolved disappearance of a pilot whilst flying across the Bass Strait.
Mark Greenwood recounts the disappearance of 20 year old pilot Fred and his plane after radioing the control tower about seeing a UFO. After extensive air and sea searches no sign of the plane has been found.
Greenwood sets out the facts and includes Fred's radio conversation, photographs, newspaper articles and the submitted flight plan.
It's up to the reader to decide what could have happened in this cold case disappearance.
If your child is fascinated by all things extra-terrestrial they will love The Vanishing!
Fascinating and a little bit eerie.
My rating 5 / 5 👽👽👽👽👽
Recommended age: 8 -12 years
