The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle


















So much love for this book!!

Mason Buttle is a bit slow, he sweats a lot, he is bullied by neighborhood boys, and his family is a bit of a mess.  To make matters worse, Mason's best friend Benny died a few years ago by falling off the ladder of their tree house.  Now though he has made a new friend and is learning to write and tell his story using some computer software.  

In the midst of all this though is the persistent lieutenant who thinks there is more to Benny's accident than anyone is telling.  What is the truth about that day?

I don't like to give away too much in my blogs - there is more...  a dog, a new friend who also has an accident.  So much good here.  My one complaint was the ending.  There is a big climactic moment, a reveal, the truth comes to light and then there are quite a few more chapters.  I wish the book had ended up sooner after the climax.
