The Boy Who Lied

by Kim Slater

Ed Clayton has a reputation as a liar and when his younger brother goes missing, nobody believes him when he says he can’t remember what happened. Ed’s dad is in prison and his mum is barely coping, so it is down to Ed (with some help from a new found friend) to do some of the investigating himself. Will he uncover the truth and find what has happened to his little brother, Sam?
