The Bad Lie

Jay had hoped to spend the summer after fifth grade at his dad's in New York, but instead he's stuck in boring day care while his mom works and his friends bike around and have fun. Jay's weekly bright spot is the day care's golf outings at Fair Elm Country Club on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Although his cool friends make fun of him for being in day care, he likes golfing with Becca, a smart girl on the fringe of the popular group who's really helping him improve his putting. When his friends convince him to "have some fun" one night with their bikes, things turn bad. Jay's efforts to stay out of trouble backfire, causing even more problems and almost destroying his friendship with Becca. On the verge of starting middle school, Jay has to choose: He can either lie and keep his popular friends while avoiding punishment, or he can own up what he's done and win back Becca's respect.
