Can You Beat Ken? (Spinner Books)

Ken Jennings, an endearingly geeky software engineer from Utah, became an unlikely celebrity as he shattered records on Jeopardy! and racked up over $2.5 million in earnings.

Can You Beat Ken? allows readers to rack up "money" while trying to wrest Ken’s crown to become the undisputed champion of trivia. Categories include fill-in-the-blank ("P.L.O. stands for Palestine ______ Organization."), true-or-false ("The lead guitar player for the Grateful Dead was missing a finger on his picking hand."), multiple choice ("Of the three ships that sailed for the West Indies under the command of Christopher Columbus, which one never made it back to Europe? a) Nina, b) Pinta, or c) Santa Maria") and other queries, puzzlers, and brainteasers.
