Bookroo's summary

Felix's birthday party takes a twist when Fiona arrives without the promised cupcakes, spinning a wild tale to cover her tracks. As her fib entangles others, Fiona faces a dilemma: admit her forgetfulness or let her conscience suffer. With Felix's guidance, can she untangle the web of deceit before it's too late? Discover how friendship and honesty can mend even the stickiest situations.

From the publisher

What if fibbing to save face gets someone else in trouble? Felix helps impulsive Fiona make things right in this second book in a new series from the beloved creator of Max and Ruby. It’s Felix’s birthday tomorrow! His best friend, Fiona, has promised to bake cupcakes to celebrate, and Felix can’t wait. But the next morning, Fiona arrives at the party with no cupcakes . . . and a tall tale that’s as colorful as raspberry icing with lemon sprinkles. Fiona’s little lie points the finger at three likely suspects, but Felix has a feeling that she might be getting in deeper and deeper. Now Fiona doesn’t know which is worse–forgetfulness or a queasy conscience. Luckily she has a friend like Felix to whisper some advice into her ear!
