Bookroo's summary

Andrew Clancy's tall tales have always been harmless, until his lies start manifesting in a bizarre way—his butt grows with every fib. As his predicament becomes impossible to hide, Andrew must confront the truth or face an embarrassing fate. Will he find a way to stop the growth, or will his lies consume him entirely? Discover the hilarious and unexpected journey of a boy learning the hard way that honesty might just be the best policy.

From the publisher

Zack’s classmate Andrew Clancy is always bragging. Everyone knows he’s a big liar. But suddenly, Andrew is having trouble hiding the fact that he isn’t telling the truth, and every time he tells another whopper, his butt grows bigger-will it ever stop?
