Count on Ripley's to scour the globe for unbelievable-yet-true stories, and this illustrated book for readers 9 to 12 is filled with eccentric individuals, bizarre feats, and macabre oddities. Discover how one barber cuts hair with fire, or marvel at blue lava spewing from a volcano, while a man feeds wild hyenas. Bursting with color photos, as well as submissions from dedicated readers, highlights include a two-headed bat, a honey bun that looks exactly like E.T., and a 15-story vending machine that dispenses real cars.
