About the author
Carey Scott is the author of Magic and Mystery (Gareth Stevens Publishing, 2016), a nonfiction book written for younger or reluctant readers. It presents one hundred facts about magic, mysterious events and unexplained phenomena drawn from a range of cultures, historical periods and events, organized in a format designed to be quick and engaging rather than a sustained narrative or argument. As a high-interest, accessible title, the book fits within educational and library nonfiction aimed at middle-grade or early teen readers rather than at adult students of occultism, and prioritizes broad curiosity-driven browsing over depth on any single tradition or topic. It suits classroom or library use, or readers looking for an entry point into the subject of magic and the unexplained before moving to more detailed or specialized books.
