Introduction

Eleven-year-old Nick, along with his parents and 14-year-old sister Sarah and little sister Jamie, moves into his grandmother's house in Eastfield, Indiana. In an effort to make friends and avoid a bully, Louis tells lies about George Ravenhill's house, Nick sneaks into the old man's cellar, scares himself, and Louis, Renee and the kids at school create stories about the encounter that spiral into lies. Derrick and his friends wreck the house and Nick is forced to clean it up as punishment. His dad helps him learn an important lesson about lying, elders, fear, speaking up, and bullying.

Never forget to be truthful and kind hold these virtues, tightly, write them deep within your heart, telling lies about someone is as harmful as hitting him with an axe, wounding him with a sword we're shooting here with a sharp arrow.

Nick, what do you mean? I don't know what if? Well? What if he said something about someone and you know, they got in big trouble for it.

Oh, well, son, nobody likes to get somebody in trouble.

But if it's the truth, then, of course, if it's not the truth, then a lot of people could get hurt there's, a person that's being lied about.

But also the person that's doing the line because not only will the truth eventually find him out.

But the very fact that lying is a sin.

Well that sin starts to cut off his relationship, his friendship with god, but there's, also a third person that gets hurt.

Yeah, there is you remember jesus says that whatever we do to others.

We do to him.

So it only stands to reason if we lie and hurt another person.

We actually hurt jesus.
