A couple seemingly harmless lies flip a girl’s life on its head as she tries to fit in with her school’s popular crowd in this hilarious and all-too-relatable middle grade novel—now with a reimagined look!
While thirteen-year-old Devon Delaney spends the summer with her grandmother, she tells her summer friend, Lexi, about how popular she is back home—even dating the most popular guy in school, Jared Bentley. Devon is a total liar. It’s all made up, but there’s no way Lexi could find out the truth, right? Wrong. On the first day of school, a new student gets introduced to the class: Lexi.
Now, Devon has to scramble to make her lies come true before Lexi realizes what huge fibs she told over the summer. How hard can it be to get popular fast? Or to start dating Jared…a boy she’s never talked to before. Devon does what she can, but the more she tries to keep up her new image, the more things go wrong. Her family thinks she’s nuts, her best friend won’t speak to her, and even worse, Jared starts crushing on Lexi and Devon starts crushing on Jared’s best friend, Luke!
If she wants to keep the people she really cares about, she’ll have to figure out who the real Devon Delaney is before she’s gone too far.
