Bookroo's summary

Tim's wild tales of ninjas and crocodiles are dismissed as lies by his parents. Faced with endless chores, he devises a clever plan to reveal the truth. Will his scheme succeed, or is he doomed to a life of yard work? With unexpected twists and a cast of wacky characters, Tim's adventure is a hilarious journey where the unbelievable might just be real. Can he convince his parents before it's too late?

From the publisher

A young boy named Tim is accused of lying when he tells his parents that a ninja ate the last piece of cake and a sunburned crocodile landed on the roof, so he figures out a way to prove that he is telling the truth.
