What makes someone extraordinary?
Inside this book, you’ll find stories of extraordinary people like:
Evel Knievel: who jumped his motorcycle over 14 Greyhound busses;
The Iceman: the most well-preserved human, found in the ice after 5,300 years;
Sam Patch: who jumped Niagara Falls for $75;
Helen Thayer: who walked to the North Pole alone;
Roy Sullivan: who was struck by lightning seven times; and
Larry Walters: who used 40 helium balloons and a lawn chair to carry himself into the sky.
These fascinating facts and hundreds more await curious readers, amateur historians, and anyone who has ever thought about doing something weird.
