David Mortimore Baxter has a terrible problem he can't stop lying. His nearly-next-door neighbour thinks David lies so much he must have a medical condition. His mum calls it truth-bending.

The trouble is, once you start bending the truth it's really hard to straighten in out again.

"I wouldn't call myself a liar, it's just that sometimes I say things that aren't quite true. When I told my class that Smashing Smorgon the wrestler was coming for Sunday lunch, there was only one problem - he wasn't. Of course, it was Rose Thornton's fault. It usually is."
