"Everybody calls me Liar. They don't mean no harm by it, it's just a plain fact that I am the finest truth bender in all of Dixon County. And not little weeny white lies. Big fat whopper ones that make people forget the question they asked in the first place." When a new girl, Justine, moves to town, Pete Larson -- better known as Liar -- is smitten. He gets his chance to impress her after a strange spacecraft crashes in the woods. Along with the class science geek, Bobby Ray Dobbs, they discover that the crashed UFO holds an amazing key to the future. But who's going to believe a kid named Liar? Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle (creators of the hit animated series Kim Possible) introduce a character with a fresh and distinctive voice in this very funny, pitch-perfect look at three unlikely friends who try to make a difference.

A rich, vibrant story with tons of humor! I laughed, I cried...this really is an amazing read! It's meant to be directed at readers younger than me, but children and adults alike will find this book enjoyable. It's definitely up there in the 'Harry Potter' league of books. The snappy, witty writing makes this story a real page-turner. I hope to see more work from the duo in the future!
