The Blurb On The Back:

Wanted: Truth Detectives!

Did you know that a TOY SPACESHIP can teach you about why prices keep rising?

Or that a pooping cow can show you how to INVEST YOUR POCKET MONEY?

And that even the greatest minds have been fooled by FAKE NEWS and dancing fairies?

In a world of bamboozling headlines and dodgy data, it can be hard to work out what’s really going on.

So pick up your magnifying glass and join Tim Harford, economist and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s More or Less, on an investigative adventure packed with tips and tricks to help you hunt down the truth about the world around you – using the power of numbers and your own brilliant brain!
