Liar of Kudzu

by Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley

Book Overview

"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."

Customer Reviews

An amazing read!

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!

Theres no lying here

Best kid's book I have read in a long time. Loved all of the characters, especially Liar and his perspective on life and his relationships. Charming story ever read.
