Zak and His Little Lies — J. Samia Mair

Zak is on his final warning. If he tells one more lie, however little, he won't be going to the skate park with Baba and Hana.

With one job left to do, what could go wrong? A lot, it turns out, including an encounter with two bothersome boys, being chased by a mighty animal called Moose, and an adventurous lizard called Dwayne.

J. Samia Mair has published four children's books, three of which are picture books: Zak and His Good Intentions, Amira's Totally Chocolate World, and The Perfect Gift, all of which have been favorably received. She has also published one chapter book, The Great Race to Sycamore Street.
