LFL find. 3.5 stars but just can't justify rounding to 4 as it's a little too facile. But it's also both funny and thought-provoking, and I will look for others in the 'series.' (I'm pretty sure they don't need to be read in any particular order.) ( )

Made me stop and wonder what life would be like if everyone told the truth all the time! ( )

This mysterious, yet fascinating book tells the story of a young boy (Charlie) who is well known for not telling the truth. After a run in at a magic shop, he finds himself with a skull. The skull that he steals eventually helps him tell the truth. I think this is a really good book because it teaches a valuable lesson on telling the truth.
