A brief but savvy guide to responsible research methods adds further luster to this crowd pleaser.” —ALA Booklist (starred review)\nTwo Truths and a Lie is the first book in a fascinating new series that presents some of the most crazy-but-true stories about the living world as well as a handful of stories that are too crazy to be true—and asks readers to separate facts from fakes!\nDid you know that there is a fungus that can control the mind of an ant and make it do its bidding? Would you believe there is such a thing as a corpse flower—a ten-foot-tall plant with a blossom that smells like a zombie? How about a species of octopus that doesn’t live in water but rather lurks in trees in the Pacific Northwest?\nEvery story in this book is strange and astounding. But not all of them are real. Just like the old game in this book’s title, two out of every three stories are completely true and one is an outright lie. Can you guess which? It’s not going to be easy. Some false stories are based on truth, and some of the true stories are just plain unbelievable. And they’re all accompanied by dozens of photos, maps, and illustrations. Amaze yourself and trick your friends as you sort out the fakes from the facts!\nAcclaimed authors Ammi-Joan Paquette and Laurie Ann Thompson have teamed up to create a series of sneaky stories about the natural world designed to amaze, disgust, and occasionally bamboozle you.\n\nThink you can spot the fake?\n\nA Fun Educational Game: Challenge your friends and family to a battle of wits! Each chapter presents three amazing stories—but only two of them are true. Mind-Blowing Science: Discover unbelievable-but-true creatures and plants, from brain-controlling fungi to a flower that smells like a corpse. Become a Fact-Checker: Learn how to be a savvy researcher, spot the difference between credible sources and fake news, and never be fooled again. Packed with Photos: See the strangeness for yourself with dozens of full-color photos, maps, and illustrations that bring these wild stories to life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062418815\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0062418815.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Paquette, Ammi-Joan|Thompson, Laurie Ann|Weber, Lisa K.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
