Description

Welcome to the first venture into the Archives of the Unexplained, a middle grade fiction graphic novel series exploring historical and mysterious hair-raising events. In this dive, we take a look into Area 51!

Creepy is having a comeback! Open the Archives of the Unexplained as we delve into unearthly real-life stories, explore the unknown, and examine the elusive facts of history's many mysteries. Each book in this series takes one or two high-interest and relatively focused events and presents a lively, thorough, but open-ended examination of what occurred.

When TJ attends his uncle's funeral he expects to be bored. But when he escapes into his uncle's office and discovers a secret door to a basement, his uncle's classified documents open up a whole world of unidentified aircraft, strange gray men, and alien conspiracies he knew nothing about. What will TJ learn from these hidden files? Or will the mysterious men in black who appeared at the funeral get to him first?
