Description

Leo has the world's biggest hailstone at home in his freezer. His best friend Albert has two heads. Together they bake a weevil cake and kidnap a goldfish. Two of these sentences are lies. Read this book and discover The Gruesome Truth!

Quick Summary

In this wildly silly mystery, readers must figure out which of the most ridiculous statements are true or false, from a giant hailstone to a two-headed best friend. The gross-out humor hits hard with a weevil cake, a kidnapped goldfish, and enough absurd twists to keep even reluctant readers turning pages. If your kid likes the silly mysteries and gross-out laughs of Captain Underpants or My Weird School, they'll devour this book. It's perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 who love quick, weird reads that mix comedy with a puzzling mystery.
