Description

The Great Lakes: Fact or Fake? by Dave Dempsey

The true stories beneath the surface of the world’s largest freshwater ecosystem.

Everybody who looks at the Great Lakes knows they’re big, but why are they Great? From sea serpents to sunken ships, from lonely lighthouses to fish on Prozac, this book engages the reader in a quest to find what’s beneath the surface.

The next time you get into a debate about whether Lake Superior is the world’s largest lake, grab your copy of Fact or Fake and win the argument. Filled with forty important and occasionally esoteric topics, this quick and entertaining guide will enrich your Great Lakes knowledge and make you want to know even more about these amazing freshwater wonders. —Jane Elder, longtime Great Lakes advocate

A perfect read for families as they vacation on Great Lakes shores, for afternoon and bedtime reading, and for teachers to supplement their Great Lakes curriculum. Another writing win from our best Great Lakes expert. —Sally Cole-Misch, author of The Best Part of Us , a 2021 Readers’ Favorite International Silver Medal in Literary Fiction

Are there whales in the Great Lakes? Sharks? Sea monsters, even? Did a king once live on an island in Lake Michigan? Read Dave Dempsey’s wonderfully engaging and richly informative book – written in the manner of Ripley’s Believe I t or N ot ! – and find out. You’ll be absorbed by what you didn’t know, and enlightened by what you learn . —Tim Mulherin, author of Sand, Stars, Wind, & Field Notes from Up North
