A kid who lies to get out of trouble...

I have read this book about three month ago or something like that.Anyway,I thought it was quiet smart.A kid who always lies to get out of trouble runs into himself oneday! Who is this guy,his twin? How will he solve this mystery before his 'twin' silences him forever?

Never tell a lie.

Ross Arthur has pretty much everything a kid could want. His dad is an executive for a big movie studio, and the Arthur family lives in a mansion with a swimming pool in Beverly Hills. But Ross doesn't exactly show his appreciation - in fact, he doesn't show it at all. To get out of doing things he's supposed to do, like chores and schoolwork, he makes up outrageous stories. And then one day, strange things begin to happen. They start out when Ross sees an exact double of himself. Then, he starts to get terrible headaches, and things he touch get destroyed. Ross learns that his constant lies broke the barrier between fact and fiction, and as a result, he is trapped in a nightmarish parallel world. Now Ross must figure out how to return to his own world. I really enjoyed this extremely creepy addition to The Nightmare Room series.
