Editorial Reviews

This book had unexpected twists and turns with unbelievable stories! It was awesome!

-Alli Renken, age eleven

In this day of standardized tests that don't seem to have a clue about young people and their experience of school, how refreshing to hear the diverse voices of his students and get their "take" on things. This book is going to be loved by the cool kids and the nerds (like me) for years to come!

-Emily Hayden, PhD, assistant professor, literacy education, Iowa State University

Honest and emotional. Lie, Cheat, Steal is amazing! Mr. C is documenting what is real. Try to put it down ... I dare you!

-Sheri Christen, media specialist

Mr. C writes so brilliantly that it entertains both teachers and students. Highlighting the true mo- ments of school, but also using such captivating language will keep kids (and parents and teachers) laughing while also learning. A must-read for your read-alouds.

-Megan Kuehl, classroom teacher
