Guided by tween "ghostorian" Virgil, readers will discover fascinating facts about calamitous events throughout history as they explore castles, palaces and dungeons and those infamous figures associated with each. For instance, did you know that many castles were made out of wood painted to look like stone? Or that wealthy prisoners in the Tower of London could keep servants? The book is also chock-full of gross-factor details that kids will love - famous methods of torture, most popular ways of poisoning enemies - and lavishly illustrated.
