Cunningham, D.  (2013).  How to fake a moon landing.  NY:  Abrams.

Darryl Cunningham is a writer fascinated with science.  He states that "this book is pro-science and pro-critical thinking.  It is not a book promoting a scientific elite whom we must all follow.  It is the scientific process that must be followed," (p. 7).  By following it you will be able to find the truth in every situation.  He tackles controversial topics such as:  fracking, the moon hoax, climate change, the vaccination scandal, evolution, chiropractic care and homeopathy.  Laid out in a logical manner and armed with drawings and photos illustrating his point, he carefully lays a groundwork for the truth in each of these areas.

Intended for grades 6-12, students may also enjoy reading by Cunningham, Science Tales:  Lies, Hoaxes and Scams.   I found this graphic novel to be well done.  While a graphic novel was not an obvious choice in which to write a science book, it does have a certain appeal.  Done in muted tones throughout and dotted with bright orange, red or blue pictures to highlight his point, he lays down a solid argument.  There is a significant acknowledgements page with a lengthy list of contributors (scientists, journalists and professors).  He states be blogged with many of them and debated these issues until his curiosities were satisfied.  Admitting that science is a moving target, he invites readers to investigate for themselves.  Science teachers may also enjoy using this book to debate current issues with students based on the scientific method.
