(2) 4-6 Eighth-grader Kevin lies to expose hypocrisy, to be loyal to his friends, and to get out of homework. Paulsen maintains a light, quippy touch in this story of how Kevin discovers some situations in which lying doesn't work. The book, a spot-on portrait of what nine-year-olds think being fourteen is like, will appeal to the short-chapter crowd at which it's aimed.
