About this title

Synopsis

A funny comic with robots, monsters, and aliens–that's just right for second graders!

Sam claims a monster ate his homework, the tub is full of alligators, and extraterrestrials have named their planet in his honor.
But when Sam's exaggerations alienate his classmates, the tall tales escalate.

Are robots really attacking his house? (Of course not! Sam made it up!)

As in Aesop's classic "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," Sam's community rallies to help him out. And Sam learns how a big fib can have serious consequences.
