Lizzie is a lier

This book is based on a teenage girl who has the habit of lying. Her best friend Sara always thinks that she's telling the truth. Lizzie's Nana has a feeling that she's lying to her mother and she tries to prove that Lizzie lies, but her mother thinks that lizzie is sweet and smart.Yea..Right! I think that Lizzie needs to be taught a lesson.Lizzie tells Sara some very weird stories about her Nana, now Sara thinks taht Lizzie's Nana is out of her mind. This book is kind of funny especially when Lizzie gets caught tied up in a chair. Sara finally finds out the truth after a long time.In this book Lizzie finds a cat and she takes it home. Uh oh, bad idea. Lizzie's mom goes nuts when she see's the cat.Lizzie had to let the cat go. The next days Lizzie told Sara that the cat cat was living with another family out in the country. For some reason Sara got this weird feeling that she's lying.It all ends when Lizzie can't hold the truth back anymore and admits the truth to everybody that she has lied to.

Sad , touching and sincere

I read this book years ago when I was in 4th grade and I remember it quite clearly. Parts of it were kinda dumb but necessary. Kids do go through a lying stage. The ending of the book left me in tears. Seemed like it ended abruptly and didn't explain everything. I wrote to the author and she wrote back! You should try reading her "Something Queer" mystery books for young kids 2nd grade and up-- very cute!
