- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021My son is a huge fan of these books; I only wish there were more in the series. We like to read a set at night before bed and it's fun to see if the authors are able to fool us!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024So engaging and entertaining. Kept us on our toes!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021What a creative and different way to expand horizons and learn to discern the difference between truth and fiction! Plus this is such a quick and fun reading experience. Highly recommend spending a little time with these books.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019This is a really fabulous series that invites the reader to guess whether each chapter is true or false. As the title implies 2/3 of the chapters are based on fact and 1/3 on fiction. The authors are persuasive every time so determining what is true and what is not is a fun challenge for any age. Kids will enjoy the short chapters, intriguing topics, and surprises along the way. Highly recommend for reluctant readers.
