A New York Times Book Review Perfect Illustrated Children’s Book of 2015

In the early 1900s, Robert Miller, a.k.a. “Count Victor Lustig,” moved to Paris hoping to be an artist. A con artist, that may be. He used his ingenious scams on unsuspecting marks far and wide the sector, from the Czech Republic, to Atlantic ocean liners, and across The us. Tricky Vic pulled off his so much daring con in 1925, when he managed to “sell” the Eiffel Tower to one of the vital city’s so much successful scrap metal dealers! Six weeks later, he tried to sell the Eiffel Tower far and wide again. Vic was once never caught. For that individual scam, anyway. . . .
 
Kids will love to read about Vic’s thrilling life, and teachers will love the informational sidebars and back matter. Award-winner Greg Pizzoli’s humorous and vibrant graphic style of illustration mark a bold option to picture book biography.
