Synopsis

Tom Bean has cried wolf once too often, so when he spots a real fox in Bernie King's basement, nobody believes him! 'Yeah, right! Another one of your jokes, Tom!'. But Tom just happens to be telling the truth this time - life is so unfair! The only way to prove it is to go back and take a photo - so Tom hatches a plan. But as with everything in his hare-brained life, things don't quite go to plan. Tom ends up in trouble - yet again! Who said the camera never lies?

Book Overview: Definitely Daisy's alter ego has arrived! Tom Bean is a monster practical joker, and a legend at school! Chewing gum in your hair? Unexpected skateboard pile-up? It'll be Tom. Totally Tom! Tom's reputation as a fibber means that no one believes his claim that he's seen a fox in the school caretaker's basement, but Tom insists it's true. To prove it, he's going to take a photo. But an encounter with spiteful Lennox, the caretaker's dog, means things get more out of hand than ever!
