The Book of 100 Truths

The Book of 100 Truths by Julie SchuMacher is a great book to read.
I recommend it to EVERYONE.
The first thing I can say about this book is that it was short. A 3-4 day book, I managed to finish it in 2 days. Why? Julie Schumacher did such a great job that I couldn't put the book down.
Thea spends six weeks every year at her Grandma's beach house, but this year is different. She spends most of the time there either babysitting her nosy 7-year-old cousin, or writing in the Book of Truths that her mom gave to her. The thing about Theadora Grumman is that she is a liar. Because she's such a liar, Thea's mom is making her write a book with 100 true things, like the story that when she was at Three-Mile Creek and her friend almost fell through the ice and died, and the truth that she doesn't even have very many friends. Thea's cousin is always trying to find out what Thea's writing in her book. She is bugging Thea like crazy, but what is also bugging her is that something is going on with her aunts. They're acting very secretive and suspicious and they won't tell anyone what they are up to so it's up to Thea to find out why.
This was definitely a book I would read over again! I like how the author really made it a fictional mystery and exciting all at the same time. I could never put it down! really hope that the author has other books of hers that I can read. I hope you find it somewhere because you don't want to miss out on a great read.
