History in the Faking
Andreas Oertel
Life is getting more dismal by the minute in the tiny town of Sultana. The tourists are gone, business is slow, and if it gets any slower, Eric and Rachel’s family will be forced to move away. Luckily, Eric, Rachel, and their friend Cody have a plan to transform this sleepy town into a hotbed of activity. In an elaborate hoax that makes headlines and sends archaeologists and tourists flocking to Sultana, the kids orchestrate the discovery of an “ancient Egyptian” tablet in a local riverbed. But sometimes the best-laid plans work out a little too well. How are the three friends going to explain their way out of this one?

History in the Faking is a book about Cody, his friends, and an elaborate hoax.  Cody lives in Sultana, Manitoba, a very small town, with nothing to do during summer break.  And worse yet, Cody's friend Erick overhears his mom saying that if the local restaurant doesn't get enough customers, she will lose her job.  If that happens, they will have to leave.  With the river drying up because of summer heat, no one will come to Sultana.  They create a hoax that might put Sultana on the map and bring business to the restaurant.
