<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Whoppers presents the fascinating stories of over fifty people who lied for money, fame, honor, acceptance, and, sometimes, just for the heck of it."--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>History of full of liars. Not just little-white-telling liars, but big-honkin', whopper-telling liars--people who can convince us that even the most improbable, outrageous, nonsensical stories are true. And the worst part is that we'll believe it. <em>Whoppers</em> tells the story of history's greatest liars and the lies they told, providing a mix of narrative profiles of super-famous liars, lies, and/or hoaxes, as well as more obscure episodes. Famous liars include people you might have learned about in school, like P. T. Barnum, who basically made a living lying to people for money; liars you might never have heard of before, like Victor Lustig, who managed to sell the Eiffel Tower twice in the 1920s; and hoaxes like the Loch Ness Monster Photo Hoax. The book will also include illustrations, sidebars, and infographics.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] lively, fun read designed to appeal to leisure audiences and history buffs alike."--<i><b>California Bookwatch</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Christine Seifert</b> is a native North Dakotan, a professor at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a Young Adult writer.
