About This Book

"That's Bradley Chalkers for you. He tells lies. He picks fights with girls, and the teachers say he has "serious behaviour problems". No one likes him. Except Carla. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous and even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley can change, if only he weren't afraid to try."--Cover.
