About this title

Synopsis

Aaron was always taught to tell the truth, but that didn't mean it was always the easiest thing to do. He had loved his new after school job, cutting grass at the Gifford's farm. It was a great opportunity for someone his age. Of course that all suddenly changed one night when chaos erupted. Aaron knew it was ALL his fault. He couldn't deny it. He was doomed! He knew he had to confess, but much to his astonishment, Mr. G. confessed instead! Mr. G. believed everything was his own fault, blaming it all on his old age. Aaron couldn't believe his luck! He was off the hook....that was until he remembered about Stella, his grade six spelling bee rival. He knew she had been lurking around, spying on him. Aaron was convinced she knew the truth, but would she tell? Would he lose his job? Despite his worry, Aaron unexpectedly discovers the true meaning of one of his most confusing spelling words. He also learns a lot about himself, the true value of honesty, doing the right thing and all of the rewards that can come with it, if you simply listen to your C on Science!

About the Author

Robin deBoer was in grade 7 when she realized creative writing was one of her most enjoyable subjects. She loved putting her thoughts and ideas on paper and watching them develop into a valuable story. She actually grew up just down the road from the Gifford farm and worked there as a teenager, cutting grass as an after school job. That's where the idea for this particular story was inspired. Robin still resides in the country in southern Ontario with her husband Peter. They have three adult children. They also own and operate a family cabinet business in their nearby town of Cayuga.
