Ripley's Believe it or Not!
Great book of oddities and fun for the entire family. My 12yr old daughter wanted it for herself, but I like reading it too. A fun book.... you don't need to worry about finishing a certain number of pages or chapters... just pick it up, open to a random page, and begin!
