Customer Reviews

very good

This book is really good if you are truly interested in this fascinating mystery. i'd give it 1 million stars if I could.

Excellent introduction to the mystery Loch Ness.

This book convinced my 10 year old son that there is something in the Loch, but that science hasn't figured it out yet. This is a great book. It lays out the competing theories and accounts, and deals with them fairly, leaving the question open for a child to think about the strength of the evidence and how one might determine scientifically whether a creature exists. This book, and the whole Can Science Solve series, is very well done.
