eSource: The Girl Who Couldn't Lie

Priya lies a lot. She tells her friends everything’s fine at home when in reality, her parents argue constantly. She tells her parents everything’s great at school even though Katie Wong’s bullying her. She tells her gymnastics coach she’ll happily do whatever it takes to win the upcoming championship, despite being secretly sick of the constant training. She figures this is the only way to avoid disappointing or upsetting others.

Priya’s grandmother, who died a year ago, was the only person who knew the real her.

When Priya puts on a bangle that her grandmother left her, she suddenly finds herself incapable of telling a lie. She can’t get the bangle off, so she can’t stop spilling truths—some that mortify her, some that get her into trouble . . . and some that actually change her life for the better. Can she learn to be honest without hurting the people she loves?
