'A book that all children should read' - Matthew Syed
Did you know that a toy spaceship can teach you about inflation? Or that a pooping cow can show you how to invest your pocket money? And that even the greatest detectives have been fooled by fake news and dancing fairies?
This book turns readers into true truth detectives, helping them explore the world around them. You will meet heroic truth detectives like Florence Nightingale, who started a revolution with a little chart. You will encounter villains who have tried to confuse with misleading evidence and misinformation.
By learning to be smart and clever with numbers, you will become smart and clever in all other aspects of your life. Put on your hat, take a magnifying glass, and start seeing the world through different eyes.
A book that all curious children should read, from the BBC Radio 4 'More or Less' presenter, Tim Harford, with wonderful illustrations by Ollie Mann.
