Summary and how the book will be used with students:

This was a great chapter book that starred Tabitha. Tabitha was like most younger girls wanted to fit in with the rest of the "cool" kids and tried really hard  to make friends but just could not just Sara and Jason. One day she lied saying she had been arrested and that little lie turned in to huge talk people were talking about things she did not do and took the true story and twisted it so until Tabitha wished she was invisibial at school.

This is great story to use in the classroom to talk about bullying and also character building on why you should not lie.
