The book is historical nonfiction about a con man who successfully sells the Eiffel Tower.

I like that the book discusses the history of Ice. I could use this book to pair with the movie Frozen before a school party. Many of the pictures from the  book are similar to shots in the movie.

Interesting biography that you can also tie in science!

Most people know her as an exceptional actress but she used that life to stand up for impoverished children. https://padlet.com/garrettt/hd0p2zajqxee/wish/117723058 Jackie

Their invention was a total accident!

These stories are engaging and include the failures of some really famous historical figures. Not only interesting, but also stresses the need for resilience and the need to keep trying!
