The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle

English

By (author): Leslie Connor

From the critically acclaimed author of Waiting for Normal and All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook, Leslie Connor, comes a deeply poignant and beautifully crafted story about self-reliance, redemption, and hope. 

Mason Buttle is the biggest, sweatiest kid in his grade, and everyone knows he can barely read or write. Masons learning disabilities are compounded by grief. Fifteen months ago, Masons best friend, Benny Kilmartin, turned up dead in the Buttle familys orchard.

An investigation drags on, and Mason, honest as the day is long, cant understand why Lieutenant Baird wont believe the story Mason has told about that day.

Both Mason and his new friend, tiny Calvin Chumsky, are relentlessly bullied by the other boys in their neighborhood, so they create an underground haven for themselves. When Calvin goes missing, Mason finds himself in trouble again. Hes desperate to figure out what happened to Calvin and, eventually, Benny.

But will anyone believe him?
