Athans, Sandra K. Secrets of the Sky Caves: Danger and Discovery on Nepal’s Mustang Cliffs, 55 p. NON-FICTION. Millbrook Press, 2014. $24.
One region of the Himalay mountain range is a warren of caves, some accessible by foot, but most accessible only by dangerous climbs, from an ancient kingdom that has completely disappeared from the world. Called the Mustang Caves, the vanished civilization left behind art, tools, tombs, and even writings. Little by little, expeditions into the range have started uncovering the details of the long lost culture.
This is as much a book about mountain climbing, caving and archaeology, as it is about what we know about the Mustang culture. Full of interesting photographs and high quality information, it would be an important resource for many different classes or just a good option for a non-fiction read. Non-fiction is very popular at my school and I am excited to add this to my collection.
