Bookroo's summary
Eleven-year-old Joey, known for his wild stories, faces disbelief when he claims to witness the kidnapping of the school bully, Willie Groves.

This gripping mystery unfolds with suspense, challenging Joey to outsmart his foes and uncover the truth.
From the publisher
This bestselling classic novel about bullying gone awry from three time Edgar Award-winning author Willo Davis Roberts is a “fast-paced mystery [that] unfolds with suspense and excitement” (School Library Journal). I didn’t like Willie Groves, but I didn’t hate him enough to want someone to kidnap him. Famous last words. Joey Bishop soon finds himself face-to-face with the kidnappers–and his archenemy–in this fast-paced story that will leave you glued to the edge of your seat.
