Review
"Robberecht's clever tale illuminates the consequences of telling a lie.... A lesson made humorous and accessible." Kirkus Reviews
The story effectively captures the growing guilt and subsequent bad feelings of a child caught up in a lie, making it hard to cuddle with a parent or have a conversation.
School Library Journal
Synopsis
When Sarah breaks her mother's favorite necklace, she lies to cover it up. But the lie isn't the only thing that comes out of her mouth. A little ghost pops out, too! And for every new lie Sarah tells, another ghost appears. There seems to be only one way to get rid of them, but which is scarier: living in your own haunted house, or telling the truth?
Brightly colored, funny illustrations bring this unique tale about an all-too-common problem to life in a way that young children can understand and relate to.
