"A historical home run!" --Dav Pilkey, bestselling author of
Captain Underpants "A dash of history. A scoop of fun. Give this
book to hungry readers everywhere!" --Jennifer L. Holm, New York
Times-bestselling author of The Fourteenth Goldfish "Imagine what
the world would be like if Steve Sheinkin had decided to become a
NASCAR driver instead of one of the finest history writers I know
of. Or what if Neil Swaab chose to be a pastry chef instead of
becoming one of the most clever cartoonists alive? Well, those guys
might be happy, but it would be a very dull world indeed because we
wouldn't have the terrific "Time Twisters" series for our reading
pleasure. If you want to have fun while simultaneously learning
some truly valuable lessons about history, then you absolutely MUST
read these books." --Nick Bruel, New York Times-bestselling author
of the Bad Kitty series Undefeated: "A model of research and
documentation as well as of stylish writing that tells an always
absorbing story." --Booklist, starred review "A gifted storyteller
who never forgets the story in history. . . . Superb nonfiction
that will entertain as it informs." --Kirkus Reviews, starred
