Description
This book explains what kinds of clues might be found at a crime scene, how scientists determine the time of a person's death, and if two people can have identical fingerprints.
Quick Summary
This book turns readers into junior forensic scientists by revealing the real science that crimefighters use to crack cases, from analyzing microscopic clues to figuring out the exact moment someone died. Kids will love the gross-out factor of diving into blood spatter patterns, studying finger ridge details, and learning why no two people share the exact same prints, all presented with the same mind-blowing facts that make forensic TV shows so addictive. If your kid loves the puzzle-solving excitement of the "Escape This Book" series or the mystery-cracking fun of "The 39 Clues," they'll be hooked on this real-life detective training. This is a perfect read for kids ages 9 to 12 in grades 4 through 8 who are curious about science, love true crime podcasts, or dream of one day working in a crime lab.
