What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Arthur Rasby is ten years old and having the worst summer of his life. His parents don’t listen to him, so he writes everything down - everything that’s real - in his journal. But when he goes to stay with his Great-Aunt Elda and Great- Uncle Wrisby on their farm, his world is turned upside down. For the first time Arthur wonders what’s real and what’s not.
