Wicked: Grigory Rasputin: Holy Man or Mad Monk?

Wicked: Grigory Rasputin: Holy Man or Mad Monk? is by Enid A. Goldberg & Norman Itzkowitz. Rasputin started out as a poor peasant from Siberia only to become one of the most powerful men in Russia. He claimed to have mystical powers, was he a holy man or a mad man? The Russian czars believed in him or did they? A fascinating little book that will definitely introduce young people to nonfiction reading.

Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10.
