Summary:
"Do you know the story of Columbus and his voyages across the Atlantic Ocean? The history stories you think you know may not be what they seem. In this deep-diving series, readers of How FACT Became FICTION are invited into the truth beyond the stories people tell about history. It includes investigations into what really happened and how the truth was hidden over time. Readers explore primary sources as they develop historical inquiry and media literacy skills and learn the ins and outs of separating fact from fiction"-- Provided by publisher.
