About Unmasking Cults: The History of Cults and Leaders that Went Too Far:
Some cults began with yoga, self-help seminars, or civil rights activism. Others started with meditation, space aliens, or a leader who just really believed they were the smartest person in the room. What they all had in common wasn’t weirdness—it was influence.
Get ready to dig into real cults from history and learn how movements that promised peace, equality, enlightenment, or personal growth slowly turned into something much darker.
Middle schoolers and teens will learn the psychology behind how charismatic leaders gained control, how good ideas got twisted, and why smart, well-meaning people went along with it longer than they should have.

Author Bio:
When not attempting to drown her kids in historical references to every single question they ask, you might find Lilith Danvers doing her best to not think about the cookies in the cupboard, shopping for things she’ll never buy, or calling tongs “kitchen pinchers” because she can’t be bothered with remembering the real names for everyday items.
