Full review will be posted soonish and I'll add links to blog as well.

I would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

A straight forward book that demands that kids/teens to think about what they read and hear. This is greatly needed in a world where everyone has an platform and an opinion, many of the loudest opinions are based on lies.

The more you hear a lie repeated the more likely you are to velieve it. Young people need new tools and teaching to make opinions based on truth.

Very engaging look at some of the “big lies” of the past and present. Kurlansky begins with a look at what exactly is a lie and how the notion of lies has been interpreted throughout time. Text features, interesting illustrations and graphics, along with some well-drawn comics make this a very readable and extremely interesting read. Granted, there are some pointed political jabs, but honestly it didn’t detract from the reading experience at all.
