Bermuda Triangle by Andrew Donkin is a selection of stories about missing planes and boats in this strange area of the ocean.
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-This study of the so-called "Triangle of Death" may leave emergent readers with more questions than answers. There are suggestions that the happenings in the triangle are UFOs making their presence felt. The mythical Atlantis is also mentioned as a possible reason for all the strange occurrences. The easily understood language sometimes takes on a ghostly tone. Illustrations (some quite spooky), photographs, sidebars, and maps enhance the accessibility. Many examples are given about the strangeness of the area, with only one double-page spread given over to natural explanations. A more scientific understanding of the area can be found in Chris Oxlade's The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle (Heinemann Library, 1999), aimed at a slightly older crowd. Donkin covers a topic of great interest to many young researchers. It's too bad it's so slanted toward the supernatural.
