Some of the biggest names in history can be found between these pages--and the light isn't flattering. (We're looking at you, George "I must not tell a lie" Washington.) Famous Phonies: Legends, Fakes, and Frauds Who Changed History is the first book in a new nonfiction middle grade series that will explore the underbelly of history, making you question everything you thought you knew about history's finest. Follow the fake lives of these twelve history-changers to uncover the fabrications of the famous, and the should-be-famous! Famous "Phonies": Confucius * George Washington * Pythagoras * Hiawatha * Gilgamesh * Major William Martin * William Shakespeare * Pope Joan * Homer * Prester John * Huangdi * The Turk, Fakes, frauds, and phonies.

Follow the fake lives of these twelve history-changers to uncover the fabrications of the famous, and the should-be-famous!Famous "Phonies":Confucius * George Washington * Pythagoras * Hiawatha * Gilgamesh * Major William Martin * William Shakespeare * Pope Joan * Homer * Prester John * Huangdi * The Turk, The world's earth-shattering, history-changing movers and shakers are all well documented . . . right? Hardly! Take Homer, the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey . His famous epics have inspired generations of writers and launched Western literature as we know it. Only problem, he never existed. No author named Homer ever traveled ancient Greece penning those really long stories about gods and heroes. So, who "did" author the books? Other famous historical figures did exist, just not as you'd think. A man named Confucius really did live and breathe. But he wasn't the wise old sage we learn about today. Instead of dropping quotable bits of wisdom, he preferred whacking people over the head with his stick. In the Middle Ages, an invented king inspired crusades, and in the 18th Century, a fake robot helped ignite the digital revolution. History is loaded with illusory figures that have left their mark on our world. Famous Phonies is the first in a new nonfiction middle grade series that will explore the underbelly of history, making you question everything you thought you knew about history's finest. It's perfect for the history buff, the reluctant reader, or that kid who loves the strange and unusual. And who doesn't?
