by Gary Paulsen

Follow Kevin's ups and downs as he deals with some relatable—and comical—middle school milestones. Liar, Liar Kevin is one of the best liars out there, but he doesn't think it's a problem. It's not like he means to cause trouble by lying all the time—he just tells lies to make things easier for everyone…and, okay, maybe for himself as well. Like telling his social studies project partner that he has a serious disease so she'll do all the work. Or lying to his teachers to get out of class so he can spend time with his crush. But as his lies start to snowball, Kevin's friends, family, and teachers aren't very happy with him at all. Now he just might have to do the tell the truth. Flat Broke Kevin is no longer a compulsive liar—but as a punishment for his lying, he's lost his allowance. So how is he supposed to impress his crush and take her to the school dance without some serious cash flow? He needs to make money—and lots of it! Using his seemingly endless imagination, Kevin comes up with a few money-making ideas, from hosting poker games to cleaning out garages. But soon his schemes start spinning out of control—in the most hilarious of ways! Crush Kevin's been dying to ask out Tina Zabinski, the Most Beautiful Girl in the World. But since he can barely get a word out when he's around her, it's been hard. And it becomes even more difficult when the school's hunky new guy zeroes in on Tina. Then Kevin gets another one of his brilliant he's going to take a scientific approach to figuring out how love works…and then he'll ask Tina out. After all, love is based on chemistry and chemistry is science, right? But whether he's setting up a disastrous romantic dinner for his parents or accidentally asking out the wrong girl, Kevin's schemes never seem to go quite as planned.
