Georgia Bragg’s How They Croaked thrilled young audiences and won a Best Book of the Year selection by Bank Street. The sequel, How They Choked offers listeners a collection of colossal blunders made by some of history’s most famous figures. Included in this informative, amusing work are eyebrow-raising missteps by people such as Queen Isabella, Magellan, and the man who commissioned the Titanic. (Nonfiction/Ages 10 and up) WARNING: Nobody’s Perfect; Get Used to It EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES. Sometimes epic failures even lead to super successes … Sometimes they become deep, dark secrets. But to fail is human; to laugh about it is an easy way to learn about the past. From Montezuma II’s mistaking an enemy conqueror for a god to Amelia Earhart’s “winging it” until she crashed, How They Choked knocks fourteen famous achievers off their pedestals to reveal the human side of history.
