This review is from: The Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 (Terrorist Attacks) (Library Binding)

On December 21, 2008, it will mark the sad anniversary of the tragic loss of Pan Am 103 Clipper Maid of the Seas which exploded over Lockerbie, SCotland killing 259 aboard and 11 on ground. The book is aimed for children and helps spare the gruesome details or the politics behind it. While I think the book could have done more, I am not going to punish it for being guarded around it's intended audience of children who are probably going to read this book whether out of interest or for a book report.
I recommend it for the intended audience and maybe some squeamish adults.
