According to Ness, the stories have drama, excitement, adventure! And most important of all, scientific truths. There's only one problem, as Puffin keeps pointing out: the \"facts\" in the stories aren't true! For example, a puffin's colorful beak isn't the result of a sunburn, as Ness tells it. It's how they attract a mate. And that means Ness's book contains stories, not science. Will Ness ever understand the difference between the two - and why it matters?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnne Appert's early graphic novel hits all the right notes, with laugh-out-loud humor, unforgettable original characters and an important and timely message about misinformation. Dispersed throughout are spreads that contain real scientific facts about birds, offering a fresh approach to learning about both science and misinformation. The story-within-a-story construction provides an engaging structure for emerging readers. Educators will find curriculum applications in life science and critical thinking and can use the book as a conversation starter about misinformation in media and literature. Additional content includes a glossary, resources for young readers and author's sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Appert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids Can Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525312533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2026 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnne Appert is a storyteller who uses whimsy and humor to inspire and connect with readers on their journeys toward becoming their most authentic selves.
