Arthur hasn't been doing his homework and doesn't want to get in trouble. Time to tell a lie! But then something strange happens - Arthur's lies start to come true... Mum is at space camp; dad has a snazzy new car and Mr Lott the teacher is stuck up a tree tangled up with sticky tape! Arthur starts to worry - now if he tells the wrong lie, someone could get hurt.
