Tell Me the Truth, Tom!

Totally Tom #1

by Jenny Oldfield, Neal Layton (Illustrator)

Tom Bean has cried wolf once too often, so when he spots a real fox in Bernie King's basement, nobody believes him! "Yeah, right! Another one of your jokes, Tom!" But Tom just happens to be telling the truth this time—life is so unfair! The only way to prove it is to go back and take a photo, so Tom hatches a plan. But as with everything in his hare-brained life, things don't quite go to plan. Tom ends up in trouble—yet again! Who said the camera never lies?
