Captain Truthful and the Whopper Fish: A Story about Honesty (The Awesome Life Lesson Series) by Angela Pfeifer

Captain Truthful and the Whopper Fish Book 2 of The Awesome Life Lesson Series What if every lie you told came to life — and it was HUNGRY? Milo doesn’t think of himself as a liar. He just likes to… upgrade things. The fish he didn’t catch becomes the size of a bicycle. Then a car. Then a school bus that sings opera and knows karate. Regular life is boring — but upgraded life? That’s where Milo is basically a superhero. There’s just one problem: every “upgrade” is feeding something Milo can’t see. Not yet. That night, Milo dreams himself onto a tiny boat in the middle of a green, bubbly sea — and comes face-to-face with the Whopper Fish. It’s enormous. It wears a tiny top hat. It is NOT happy. And it’s made of every single lie Milo has ever told. The boat is sinking. The fish keeps growing. And the only way to shrink it? Tell the truth. What follows is a wildly funny, imaginative adventure about a boy who discovers that lies don’t just disappear — they pile up. And that the truth, even when it’s boring and small, feels a whole lot lighter than any story he could make up. Read more
