In this moving and funny companion to the acclaimed To Tell You the Truth, Raymond has a life-changing summer when he' s sent to Maine to stay with the grandparents he' s never met. Raymond has always preferred to keep life simple and leave adventuring to other people. But then he' s sent across the country, against his will, to spend the summer before fifth grade with grandparents who think he' s "troubled" and needs to have playdates set up for him. Determined to show everyone how brave, confident, and untroubled he can be, Raymond hatches a three-step plan: 1) Learn to ride a bike. His mom never got around to teaching him before she left. 2) Learn how to swim. 3) Make friends. On his own. But can Raymond really change, or is this whole plan just a bunch of lies he' s telling himself? With the help of his great-grandfather' s old journal, a feral chicken, and a possibly imaginary new friend, Raymond might just overcome his fears and figure out who he really wants to be.
*A Junior Library Guild Selection* "Despite his doubts and discomfort, Raymond is genuine and funny in all his interactions. . . . This heartfelt, emotionally insightful companion to To Tell You the Truth (2021) is accessible to readers unfamiliar with the previous book. Proof positive that an open heart can overcome hurt. " * Kirkus Reviews *
