Kevin is a great liar. So great in fact that he decides to see if he can never tell the truth again. At first it's easy...until he starts breaking his own rules about complexity and who he is lying to...then it gets complicated, and gets him into tons of trouble.

The story was quite fantastical (what really works out like that?) but Kevin was a very likeable character and it was a very quick read...it also really highlights (while being funny) the importance of not lying. (

Kevin is assigned a project from his social studies teacher, and his partner is Katie. Since Kevin is a masterful teller of lies, he manufactures a disease for himself to avoid working with her. The first in The Theory, Practice, and Destructive Properties of Deception series.

Enjoyable... but not quite up there with a lot of his others. (
