Trouble has a way of finding David Mortimore Baxter.
“I wouldn’t call myself a liar, it’s just that sometimes I say things that aren’t quite true. When I told my class that Smashing Smorgan the wrestler was coming for Sunday lunch, there was only one problem – he wasn’t. Of course, it was Rose Thornton’s fault. It usually is."

Reading was something she learned to do before she started school and it has helped shape the person she is today. She has had a variety of jobs including present wrapper, bank teller and ward assistant in a nursing home. She was a publisher at the age of 20 for the short story magazine Brave New Word and thinks nothing can replace the rush of writing except maybe reading a really good story. She is currently the Editorial Manager at The Five Mile Press and has had over 40 books published for children and young adults.
Reviews
Liar! is a humorous story that realistically depicts the ordinary happenings in a community through the eyes of David. Primary school readers will have plenty to laugh at and meet some entertaining characters that may seem just a bit like someone they already know.
