Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

Zoe Bent feels so ordinary – all the other kids in her class seem to have such interesting lives. To make herself seem more intriguing, she invents stories about herself. The problem is, her tale-telling is so outrageous that the other kids don't believe her any more . . . even when she's telling the truth! Now, Zoe has to stop her lies before she loses the one friend who sees how special she really is.




Excerpt from LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE
by Gordon Korman

Check it out.
The school bell rang.
This wasn't a bad thing. It rang every day. But today it rang from half a block away. I was late.
By the time I got to school, everyone else was pledging allegiance. I pledged along with them while I ran down the hall. It sounded more like huffing and puffing and gasping and wheezing. But it was really pledging.

Your Reviews

"This story is a fiction story. This story is about a girl named Zoe Bent. Zoe is always making up wild stories. When something exciting really does happen to her, like an eagle nesting in her backyard, no one wants to believe her! Zoe is a big fat liar."
Alice Y., Age 11, U.S.A., Rating: 10

"It was really funny. It made me laugh at the unbelievable things Zoe would make up, like having to become an actor to get money to buy a pen so she could get this movie star's autograph. Actually, she kind of reminds me of, well, me!"
Taylor H., Age 12, Ontario, Rating: 7
