    • Abstract:
      It's prime time to replace those video game/instant messaging/TV watching brain cells with some good old book learning. These new reference-type releases add fun to history, science and geography. "The Wicked History of the World" by Terry Deary and Martin Brown; Scholastic; 96 pages; $11. Kids with weak stomachs may want to avoid this "history with the nasty bits left in!" book, due to its straightforward, amazing information about human sacrifice, beheaded victims, voodoo, witchcraft, "terrible tombs" and "beastly barbarians." Wow, does this book make me happy to be a modern citizen!...
