Claire's knee injury becomes a canvas for her vivid imagination. As she heads home, each friend hears a different tale—dropped by a wolf, chased by a ghost, or abducted by aliens. What really happened? Dive into Claire's playful world where every scrape tells a new story, and discover the truth behind her adventurous tales.
From the publisher
