This book has a wide range of articles on how to play stickball, stories of ancient battles, baseball player statistics, "Questions about the world" for geography lovers (where you learn why days have 24 hours), details on the Seven Wonders of the World, diaries from adventurers, stories, and much, much more. The articles are scattered throughout the book for variety, and the book has a somewhat humorous tone, making it fun to read. You even learn about tripwires, making a go-kart, and juggling. Hopefully you'll find this book as interesting as I do. ~ Stephen
