Description
David Mortimore Baxter has a terrible problem he can't stop lying. His nearly-next-door neighbour thinks David lies so much he must have a medical condition. His mum calls it truth-bending. The trouble is, once you start bending the truth it's really hard to straighten in out again. "So here's the thing. I didn't want to go to Rose Thornton's house for dinner so I pretended to be sick. But I wasn't sick. And Mum found out. Now Mum's so mad with me she's thought up the worst punishment ever. One more lie and Boris is going to the pet shelter. So that's it. I'm turning over a new leaf. But if Mum hates it when I lie, then she's really going to hate it when I start telling the truth.'
