“Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Download theWeird,” © 2012, Ripley Publishing; 256 pages.

———BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

This year, you’ve promised yourself thatyour hand is going to be in the air as much aspossible.

Your teacher asks for volunteers, up itgoes. There’s an oral quiz, your hand is wav-ing over your head. And if there’s a questionyou really know the answer to, you mighteven put both hands up.

You’re working hard to get good gradesand raising your hand is a good way to tellthe teacher you know your stuff. Anotherway is to read “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!Download the Weird.”

So let’s say you’re on your way to schooland you see a gigantic tennis ball comingdown the road. There’s a reason for it, andit’s in this book. There’s also reason for gasp-ing when you see pictures of an enormouscrocodile. You’ll have to look twice.

Or maybe you prefer to look at tattoos. Youmight even want one someday, but would youwant to be like Vampire Woman or Lizard Man?Don’t know who they are? Well, you’ll meetthem both in this book, along with body bran-ders and piercers, a woman with elf ears, anda teenager with bionic fingers. Just don’t tryany of that at home (or anywhere, for thatmatter).

Then again, there are lots of things youcould do, just because they’re cool: try tomake a 5-ton rubber band ball, for instance.Or you could break the record for underwa-ter card games, packing your mouth full ofstraws, or saving money.

Or let’s say your Mom sometimes tells youthat you’ve lost your head. You might tell her

it’s a good thing, once you’ve read about awoman who went to college after half herbrain was removed. And if that grosses youout, then learn about fungus, worms, ticks,bugs, freaks, and other really strange things.Oh, and don’t forget Elmer McCurdy’s corpse,which was once a TV star!

And if all else fails, check this out: you canstill look like a really smart kid by telling yourfriends about mannequins in the movies.With this book and that fact, you’ll prove thatyou’re no dummy!

What kid doesn’t want to look smart whenit comes to little-known facts? I’ll bet yoursdoes, which is why you need “Ripley’s Be-lieve It or Not! Download the Weird.”

And “weird” is a good word for all thethings your child will find in this book: pic-tures from the Ripley’s archives, new photos,and new oddities. As for the “download” part,that’s new, too: there are pages that yourtechno-kids can scan to get more info, extrapictures, and more. And when they’re donebelieving (or not!), they can also contributetheir own strangeness to the Ripley’s web-site.

Though there are some potentially scarythings for smaller readers in here, I think thisbook will please anyone ages 11-to-adult. Ifyou’ve got trivia buffs in your house this fall,“Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Download theWeird” is a book to put in their hands.
