Books like Mesmerized by Mara Rockliff


In the 18th‑century capital of Paris, where Dr. Franz Mesmer dazzles with his purported eye‑staring and wand‑waving cures, the witty and inquisitive Ben Franklin arrives. Using the empirical rigor of the scientific method, Franklin exposes the mechanics behind Mesmerism, turning speculation into testable knowledge. This juvenile history blends true science, psychology, and experimentation, offering an engaging look at how observation and doubt can challenge mysticism.
