One to Grow On

Janie Chisholm doesn't' really mean to tell lies. It's just that sometimes her stories get out of control and Janie gets into trouble. No one in her family takes her seriously, and she's not very well liked at school.


Then Janie meets Lisa, a pretty girl whose parents are celebrities. Lisa seems to want to be Janie's friend, but it turns out that she tells lies, too... and these lies hurt.



Janie is thrilled when her godmother Tilly offers to take her to the cottage in the summer. She thinks she'll get away from everything. But then Lisa appears one day, and Janie is sure the whole summer is ruined. How she and Lisa become real friends and how Janie stops lying is a moving, heartwarming story.
