Funny and tender, 'My Big Mouth', Steven Camden's brilliant first novel, is about storytelling, lies, friendship, family and the currency of cool. When Dad leaves, ten-year-old Jay has questions. Where has he gone? Why did he go? When no one can give Jay the answers he needs, he makes up his own stories, setting off a chain reaction that sees regular old Jay go from just another face in the crowd, to the centre of attention. But being the coolest kid in school comes at a cost... Illustrated by Scott Garrett.
