| This
suspenseful mystery begins with the line: "It's a mistake to earn
the reputation of being a liar." Joey witnesses the kidnapping of a fellow
student at his exclusive private school, but no one will believe him because
of the tall tales he has told in the past. His chauffeur laughs him
off, his parents are too preoccupied with planning a party to listen to
him, and the 911 operator scolds him for playing pranks. Strange
things begin to happen and now Joey is convinced that the kidnapper is
after him. And he is! This book will keep you on the
edge of your seat. (Jeannie Bellavance
