In this "heartfelt, emotionally insightful" (Kirkus Reviews), 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.
