Big lies mean big trouble for Jay and his mates.

Brilliantly illustrated throughout by Chanté Timothy.‘They think I’m cool.’Dom’s face wrinkled up, ‘Who does? Who cares?’But I did. I cared.When Dad leaves, ten-year-old Jay has questions. Where has he gone? Why did he go? When no one can give Jay the answers he needs, he makes up his own stories, setting off a chain reaction that sees regular old Jay go from just another face in the crowd, to the centre of attention. But being the coolest kid in school comes at a cost. And as things spiral out of control, can the most unlikely person help him learn the most important lesson of all?
