The Elvis Mystery (Big Ideas: Intermediate)
About this ebook
Now, everybody agrees that he was born in 1935. But as for his death... well, everybody does not agree about that! Some people believe that he did not die in 1977; and in fact, that he might still be alive! Why do they think that? What is their evidence? What do they think happened instead, and where is Elvis now?
This reader for intermediate-level learners of English tells the story of Elvis Presley's incredible life and accomplishments, and explains the mystery around his death—or his disappearance!
