right? 

But what if it leads to you being a household name and

international celebrity?

Cole is the boy who fooled the world and finds himself

trapped in a huge web of lies... can he break free?

The brand new, read-in-one-sitting mystery from the bestselling

author of The Goldfish Boy.

When a little white lie leads to a huge dose of trouble...

Cole is the odd one out at school: the other kids have the latest

gadgets and trainers while his family struggles to make ends

meet.

Until the day one of his paintings is talent-spotted and sells

for thousands of pounds at a posh London gallery.

Suddenly, Cole is the toast of the international art world, the

star guest on TV shows, rich beyond his wildest dreams, hailed

as a boy genius!

Being famous is FANTASTIC...

but Cole has a guilty secret that if exposed will bring everything

crashing down around him...

A story of fame and fortune, making mistakes and learning to

be true to yourself.

An award-winning, bestselling author.

This is a funny, moving, hugely entertaining story.
