Before these "Where Is" books came out, this series began with Who Is/Was. I used these in my 4th grade classroom for a biography study, finding them to be much more interesting and readable than most other available biographies for middle schoolers. I no longer teach 4th graders, but was completely caught up in Where Is Area 51? It seems really well researched, and eye-opening ... I learned a lot! I read this as an adult for enjoyment because I do NOT LIKE nonfiction, can't get through it, and this fascinating book kept my attention for all 108 pages! Can't wait to read the next one.

Great high interest topic! Where is Area 51 is an engaging read. The author does a fine job in taking on this huge mysterious subject and attempting to explain and she’d light on it. Great time lines and historical content. You will come away having learned something.

My students love this series and the Who was/is books. I just read this book outloud to my son. It briefly explains why people thing Area 51 is connected to UFOs and space aliens. It spends more time talking about secret projects believed to be carried out there.
