How did people come to inhabit “one of the loneliest places on Earth” at about AD 300? There are many intriguing mysteries surrounding remote Easter Island and its famous, giant stone moai statues. Following an introduction, each page presents a fact about Easter Island (“Easter Island’s largest volcano can be seen from space,” for example, and “Easter Island people had their own writing, and we still can’t read it.”), accompanied by a brief explanatory paragraph and a captioned photograph or illustration. In addition, a colorful spread offers an illustrated word web of species that settlers brought and encountered when they arrived on the island (what they introduced included chickens, and they found plants and animals such as barn owls and daisies). A glossary, recommended books and Web sites, and an index make up the back matter.
