Amelia Earhart, top aviator. You might know that her flight accomplishments were heralded across the globe. But what about the story of her teeth, which were so perfect that her dentist wanted to remove all of them to show his other patients? Or her refusal to read chapter nine in any book? You’re about to be treated to the Lieographical aspects of Amelia Earhart’s life, in this funny, lighthearted, “all that didn’t happen” take on this larger than life woman.

The book ends with a short—but true—account of Amelia’s life—just enough to encourage kids to find out more on this important historical figure. But even if readers have already learned about Amelia, the wacky stories in this tall-tales book will be even more enjoyable.

"Lieographies will be the next big series. Having taught for 24 years, I am sure kids will find this series entertaining, funny, but also intriguing. I can't wait to put these books in my students' hands!"
— Shelby Jackson, 5th grade teacher,

"Lieographies lead to a unique opportunity for readers to develop ability to analyze fact from fiction. Using wit and humor, readers are given a chance to learn, think, and laugh a lot along the way. "
— Dylan C. Teut, Literacy PhD candidate; Exec. Director of Plum Creek Children's LIteracy Festival

Alan Katz's new Lieography books made me laugh out loud!!  This outrageously funny new series will surely be a hit with all my students!  There's no doubt in my mind that these unique stories will not only motivate students to read, but inspire even the most reluctant readers to further research the true stories of the famous people who are introduced in these amusing tales.
— Amy Inzero, Reading/Language Arts Consultant
