Danny is a seemingly ordinary child. Until he claims his sister has been reincarnated as a dog. Sent off to the Liars’ and Fibbers’ Academy by his parents, unbeknownst to them once there he will just learn to tell lies even more convincingly!
He’s befriended by all sorts of weird and wonderful people, including a mermaid named Derek and Inigus Jowly, the caretaker, as he sets out to learn the truth – and some life lessons – along the way.
With vivid characters that jump off the page and told in a uniquely humorous style, The Liars’ and Fibbers’ Academy is the perfect mix of quirkiness, ridiculousness and inventiveness while retaining a sombre note as secrets are revealed. It’s an important story about finding friendship in the most unlikeliest of places – and learning that they’ve always got your back.
Perfect for anyone who’s a fan of Roald Dahl or David Walliams, The Liars’ and Fibbers’ Academy is definitely a middle-grade fiction book to watch.
