ORLANDO, FL – September 28, 2021 – Just in time for National Book Month, the newest book in the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! series is now in stores. Perfect for that hard-to-buy-for youth on your holiday gift list, and to help your child develop a love of reading from an early age, Out of the Box features 256 pages of extraordinary people, far-off places, and adventures near and far.

Even the most reluctant readers will be inspired by the more than 1,000 stories of unbelievable talents, incredible inventions, and curious discoveries such as:

• Father-and-son team Iouri and Michael Petoukhov who combined their passion for pizza and love of LEGO into the ultimate plastic-brick, pie-making machine! Using only LEGO, the gourmet gadget can generate a full pizza, from sauce to cheese, peppers, and sausage. It even slices the pizza once finished baking!
• Designer Penelope Gazin whose “scaled” fashion line features 20 different matching outfits for owners and their pet lizards!
• The nothing-but-net talent of New York aerialist Amadeus Lopez who, while suspended by his mouth from a basketball hoop, can spin two balls on the forefinger of each hand and simultaneously shoot a basket with a third ball “thrown” from his foot!
• Ambidextrous lawyer and artist Colin Darke of Detroit, Michigan, who can illustrate two halves of a portrait or design simultaneously — his right and left hands working independently throughout the remarkable process!
• Astoria, New York-based Matthew Van Vorst who has given new meaning to the term “cutting the cheese.” His ongoing series of sculptures depict a variety of subjects, from sandwiches to suitcases — all made from cheese!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Out of the Box, is now available at major retailers and on Amazon.

…hardcover collection of photographs of unusual, bizarre, and striking objects… – Kirkus Reviews

Artist Zuly Sanguino of Bogota, Colombia, was born with a rare genetic disorder that left her with underdeveloped arms and legs. At the age of 18, she began studying art and now refers to herself as a “no arms, no legs, no limits artist,” painting colorful works now on display at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! attractions.
