Bookroo's summary

Edgar, a spirited toddler, accidentally shatters a statue during playtime with his sister, Lenore. Now, he faces a dilemma: confess to his mother or keep it a secret. Meanwhile, Lenore grapples with whether to tattle. As tension builds, Edgar must navigate the tricky path of honesty and consequences. Will he find the courage to tell the truth, or will his secret weigh him down? This playful tale, inspired by Poe, explores the challenges of honesty and sibling dynamics in a whimsical, engaging way.

From the publisher
