Narrative Nonfiction
THE MYSTERIES OF ANGKOR WAT by Richard Sobol (Candlewick Press 2011) takes readers into the ruins of Cambodia's ancient temple. Built almost 1000 years ago, the temple is a tribute to the ancient civilization that built it and, eventually, seems to have disappeared. Sobol, a photographer, includes detailed photographs that show not only the temple but the people, particularly the children, of Angkor Wat. <36>
