Can I See Your I.D.?



True Stories of False Idenitites


by Chris Barton


Illustrations by Paul Hoppe





Learn about the best fakers in the world! Princess Cariboo - a fake princess - and how she was found out! Frank Abagnale Jr. - the teenage swindler who convinced the world he was an airline pilot, a Secret Service agent, a lawyer and a doctor (the movie Catch me If You Can was based on his life). The tales of many people pretending to be someone they are NOT - all here for your reading pleasure.



The only weird part: it's told in second person (so everything is "you do this" or "you smell this"), which is different than pretty much any other book you've ever read except for a Choose Your Own Adventure.
