"Dylan Malone, aka Beaky, has a habit for telling porkies - every time he opens his mouth, out pops a whopper ... But then his long-suffering sister shoves him into the truth-telling machine at Madame Shirley's Marvellous Emporium of Peculiarities. Now Beaky can't tell a lie - not even a teeny-weeny one - and a truth-telling Beaky is even worse"--Www.amazon.co.uk.
