Girl who could taste Lies

One girl. A "e;Truth Tongue."e; And a school election that tastes like a dumpster fire.Summary:Most fourth graders wish for cool superpowers like flight or X-ray vision.

Rotten milk and vinegar. But life at Crew Elementary goes from sour to toxic when Leo, the boy with the suspiciously white teeth, runs for Class President.

Can a girl who "e;tastes"e; words save the school from a bitter future, or will the biggest lie of all leave her gagging on the playground? Perfect for fans of Stanley Stott series, this hilarious and heart-warming adventure proves that in a world of bitter lies, the truth is the sweetest victory of all.
