The Book of One Hundred Truths by Julie Schumacher
3.0
A solid middle-grade story about a girl who has a secret... I thought the secret part was a bit anticlimactic - it was built up to be a big deal, but ended up not. In the main story, Thea goes to her grandparents' for a summer visit, and finds her aunts acting strangely. She and her younger cousin, Jocelyn, decide to try to find out what the aunts are plotting.
The side story, the "one hundred truths", happens because a while back, Thea suddenly became a liar for reasons unknown to her parents. Her mother presents her with a notebook as she's leaving for her trip, suggesting she write down four truths every day. It is through these truths that Thea eventually tells the story of what happened to her that turned her into a liar.
