description: \n \nA JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION\n \n2018 National Council of Teacher's of English (NCTE) Notable Children's Book in Language Arts\n \nDo you believe everything you read in the newspaper?\n \nEarly in August 1937, a news flash came: a sea monster had been spotted lurking off the shore of Nantucket Island. Historically, the Massachusetts island had served as port for whaling ships. Eyewitnesses swore this wasn't a whale, but some new, fearsome creature. As eyewitness account piled up, newspaper stories of the sea monster spread quickly. Across the nation, people shivered in fear.\n \nThen, footprints were found on a Nantucket beach. Photographs were sent to prominent biologists for their opinion. Discussion swirled about raising a hunting party.\n \nOn August 18, news spread across the island: the sea monster had been captured. Islanders ran to the beach and couldn't believe their eyes.\n \nThis nonfiction picture book is a perfect tool to discuss non-political fake news stories.\n \nBack matter discusses the freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Quotes from Thomas Jefferson make it clear that fake news has always been one of the costs of a free press. A Timeline lists actual events in the order they occurred. A vocabulary list defines relevant words.\n
