Who Dunnit? Forensic Science Experiments (Enslow)
An introduction for young readers into the world of forensic science. Each chapter will test your sleuthing skills as you work with fingerprints, lip prints,footprints, etc. to solve a crime. Many of these projects would also be useful for science fair projects. This book helps young readers to utilize some of the crime solving techniques that they watch so avidly on television and learn about and practice the skills used by CSIs on television. An important aspect of this book is the explanation of the important of the scientific method and the adherence to safety practices and proper adult supervision. This text is fully illustrated with a low reading level accompanied by full color illustrations. Crimes to solve, where to obtain more information, web sites, a glossary, and index make this a useful research tool. McNeil, Linda

I will be heading to Barnes and Noble to pick this up for my son! He wants to be crime scene investigator when he grows up. He is fascinated by the science behind solving a crime. He is a reluctant reader but when he finds one that hooks him, he can't put it down. This will definitely hook him!! Can't wait to get it for him! Bye- I'm off to Barnes & Noble!
