Review:
This hybrid of nonfiction and graphic novel is a fun lesson on how the masses can be made into fools.--Mariela Siegert"School Library Journal" (01/01/2012)
It's hard to imagine a more kid-friendly piece of nonfiction. The scams covered include a made-up Stone Age society discovered in the Philippines that fooled even National Geographic ... and a French rags-to-riches high-society swindle. Although the hook is baited with plenty of sensationalism...there's some good history to be learned beneath all the grandiose flimflammery. Schroeder writes in a lighthearted, chatty tone, equally matched by Simard's good-times black-and-white cartooning. A list of additional resources points the way toward more reading for kids tickled by such large-scale trickery.--Ian Chipman"Booklist" (12/15/2011)
The topic of the book is compelling and the writing of the cases is engaging.--Elizabeth Ford"Resource Links" (12/01/2011)
There is real value in sharing such a well-written and informative text.--Sally Bender"Sal's Fiction Addiction" (08/11/2013)
