About This Book
This engaging chapter book from the 'Where Is?' series takes young readers on a journey to Niagara Falls, covering its geological origins, the fascinating history of its discovery, and the incredible, often dangerous, human attempts to conquer it. Children will learn about the science behind the falls, the famous daredevils who walked tightropes or went over in barrels, and even ponder its future. It's a perfect blend of natural science, history, and human interest for ages 6-9.
People from all over the world come to explore Niagara: among them the daredevils determined to tumble down or walk across the falls on tightrope. Learn about the hare-brained stunts and how the falls were formed and how--one day--they will disappear.
