Can I See Your I.D.?: True Stories of False Identities

133 pp. | Dial | April, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3310-7 $16.99
(4) YA Illustrated by Paul Hoppe. Barton profiles ten people throughout history who have used false identities to their advantage. For some it's a life or death situation (e.g., Solomon Perel escaping Nazis); for others it's a tool to pull cons or fulfill a dream (e.g., Keron Thomas driving the subway). Short "What Happened Next?" epilogues follow each story. The second-person narration gives the text a sometimes confusing Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-ish feel. Bib.
