Bookroo's summary
EllRay, a third-grader, feels overshadowed by his classmates' impressive stories. Desperate to stand out, he secretly takes his geologist dad's dazzling crystals to school. But what starts as a simple plan to gain admiration quickly unravels, leading to unexpected consequences. Can EllRay fix the mess before his secret is exposed? Discover the twists and turns of EllRay's adventure as he learns about honesty and the true value of his father's work.
From the publisher
All the boys in EllRay’s third-grade class have something they can brag about. Corey’s on the swim team, Kevin is super tall, Jared’s dad has an ATV. But EllRay’s dad is a geologist - not much to brag about. After all, rocks are boring. Then EllRay sees the crystals in his dad’s office, and they are really cool looking. If EllRay just “borrows” them to show his classmates, he knows they’d be impressed. And his dad will never have to know. It’s a perfect plan . . . until things go awry.
