PENGUIN Where Is Area 51?

Interesting book for a 9 year old

This is a book for kids, but it is very good for adults who just need to be introduced to the topic of "Area 51," a top-secret military base. It goes into the background of the military's experiments with top secret planes and weapons, gives a little background about the cold war immediately after World War II, and explains the historical and geographical background of the military bases. Interesting, it tells that the U.S. military tested a Russian MIG fighter plane that the Israelis captured during the 1967 6-day war. The book mentions all the bizarre claims of aliens and UFO's prominent in conspiracy circles, but does nothing to debunk them. nor entertain them. However, after reading the book it is pretty clear that the U.S. government has no problem with entertaining such ridiculous theories in order to cover up such top secret military experiments or chemical weapons experiments that are being conducted there. Obviously, the great majority of UFO's are most likely these experimental craft and planes. Great little book for a primer, and if you know nothing about the subject.

My nearly 10 year old was so excited about the true & the possibilities in the book that it was read through on Christmas evening then the next morning. Even Indiana Jones is in there 😊. Reading age is 8-11…depending on help.

My kids love these books

My son loved this book. After he had a million more question about area 51. I love these books because they give him information on many different topics. I may not have all the answers to his question. He love to read. So it keeps him busy for a while
