The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion & the Fall of Imperial Russia" A] superb history. In these thrilling, highly readable pages, we meet Rasputin, the shaggy, lecherous mystic; we visit the gilded ballrooms of the doomed aristocracy; and we pause in the sickroom of little Alexei, the hemophiliac heir who, with his parents and four sisters, would be murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918."

" A] superb history.... In these thrilling, highly readable pages, we meet Rasputin, the shaggy, lecherous mystic...; we visit the gilded ballrooms of the doomed aristocracy; and we pause in the sickroom of little Alexei, the hemophiliac heir who, with his parents and four sisters, would be murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918." --The Wall Street Journal

Here is the tumultuous, heartrending, true story of the Romanovs--at once an intimate portrait of Russia's last royal family and a gripping account of its undoing. Using captivating photos and compelling first person accounts, award-winning author Candace Fleming (Amelia Lost; The Lincolns) deftly maneuvers between the imperial family's extravagant lives and the plight of Russia's poor masses, making this an utterly mesmerizing read as well as a perfect resource for meeting Common Core standards.

"An exhilarating narrative history of a doomed and clueless family and empire." --Jim Murphy, author of Newbery Honor Books An American Plague and The Great Fire

"For readers who regard history as dull, Fleming's extraordinary book is proof positive that, on the contrary, it is endlessly fascinating, absorbing as any novel, and the stuff of an altogether memorable reading experience." --Booklist, Starred

"Marrying the intimate family portrait of Heiligman's Charles and Emma with the politics and intrigue of Sheinkin's Bomb, Fleming has outdone herself with this riveting work of narrative nonfiction that appeals to the imagination as much as the intellect." --The Horn Book, Starred

EDIT: *NOT* great for aggressive chewers!!! ☹️
Style: Two pack, Style: Two pack
UPDATE (previous 5⭐️): Yep. Things changed!! I take it alllll back!😩🤦🏼‍♀️ Here we are, just shy of a month and they’re both toast!!! The pics might not look like a big deal, but we tossed the orange one after finding the chewed off bits in his poop. The only reason I was able to take a pic of this blue one is because we couldn’t find it until now. However, the orange one looked the same when we tossed it, so I’m sure we’ll be finding blue bits in his poop. Not a fan of ANY chew toy he can actually end up eating!! I have PTSD from our last fur baby that suddenly decided he liked to swallow socks @ 11yo & ended up needing emergency surgery to the tune of ~$5K!🥴 These are crazy!! They’re super hard plastic, almost like glass. I wasn’t expecting that! My hubs was joking they’re for seggy time, not dogs! 🫣😂 We got a puppy in April that is an aggressive chewer. We’ve both had dogs most of our lives, but this aggressive chewing is new to both of us. Lil dude has chewed through a ton of other toys advertised for aggressive chewers- a few within just hours!! It’s wild!! We’re not used to it, but he loves his toys, so we keep trying to get him ones that will last! 😅 We only got this 2-pk yesterday morning, but he’s been obsessed & so far, so good! With how hard they are, I’m feeling very confident they’ll last longer than any other toy we’ve bought him!! I will update if anything changes!

Very durable
Style: Two pack
These are great for my aggressive chewer. She still naws them down a bit after 6 months but not nearly as much as other toys. The size is perfect. It keeps her engaged in play. They do not squeek which is a plus. The only worry I have is if she throws it in the air it might break something breakable.
