HGGG - Ripley's Believe It or Not Strikingly True - Review & Giveaway

Ripley Believe It or Not Publishing's new book called Strikingly True is the 8th edition of the wildly popular series and chronicles the weirdest, wildest stories from around the world. It's a great book for teens, tweens and reluctant readers. Stories like that of Jonathon Trappe, aerial adventurer and pilot, who traveled across the English Channel attached to 55 helium balloons will have kids dreaming about setting their own records; while the bizarre food, science, sport, feats and arts stories will open their eyes to the marvels of the world that only Ripley's has been able to track down.

Who would not be fascinated with this book. This is one of the coolest books we've seen in a long time. The book has stories of some of the most amazing things in the world including bizarre facts, stories, interviews, lists, features on tattooed ladies, ancient mummies, and walls of death to name a few. My son couldn't put it down. Plus it has a cool holographic foil cover that the kids will be attracted to.

The animal stories are interesting and funny. Have you ever seen someone hang bats on a cloths line? or heard about the dog locked in a car that honked the horn until his owner came to let him out.

I can't believe the tattoos on this lady, head to toe, it's amazing what people will do. There are also stories about getting hit by lightening, eating knives, spoons and forks, a man eating his own finger and a parachute not opening and surviving the fall.

Strikingly True also includes a dramatic 8-page gatefold pullout that celebrates the sideshow performers who appeared at Ripley’s first ever Odditorium—at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. Do you want to see a sneak peek. Well then take a look. Go on you know that you want to.
