About This Book

"Spontaneous, natural, and humorous." —The Bulletin    J.P. is in love, and it's making him do all sorts of weird things. Like using deodorant, bumping into walls, and imagining he hears serenading violins. J.P. has even forgotten his obsession with chess, too caught up in pondering the beauty of Angela Patricia Galsworthy, a girl who has just moved to town from London and has the most charming British accent.   J.P. will do anything to impress Angela, even lie about having a fatal disease called triple framosis. From there, his lies grow bigger and bigger and bigger, until he can barely keep them all straight. What's a poor lovesick boy to do?
The Consequences of Lying: One little fib to impress a girl turns into a fake fatal disease called triple framosis—and a mess J.P. can't control.A Relatable Middle School Story: From the overwhelming urge to use deodorant to navigating a school crush, J.P.'s anxieties are perfectly true to life.Laugh-Out-Loud Moments: Watch J.P. go from a focused chess player to a walking disaster who bumps into walls and invents diseases, all for a girl with a British accent.A Lesson in Honesty: A heartwarming and funny novel about how telling the truth is always the best move, even when it feels like checkmate.
