Description
When he's in a tight spot, Morgan tells stories - and most of them stretch the truth, to say the least. But when he tells kids at his new school he can do magic tricks, he really gets in trouble - most of all with the dreaded Aldeen Hummel!

Editorial Reviews
"Most children...will relate to both the characters and the situations in this story. They will enjoy the informal language... Slavin's humorous illustrations should assist readers with their transition from picturebooks to novel format. Parents and teachers will find the story a good discussion starter."
