About this ebook
“Rusty, I swear to howdy, if you tell a soul...”
Joey Banks is a walking adventure. He’s funny, daring, mischievous—and frequently in trouble. Or he would be if anyone found out about half the stuff he’s done. But Rusty Cooper knows how to keep a secret. And Joey’s the best friend he’s ever had. But then comes a secret that is at once too terrible to tell and too terrible to keep. A secret so big it threatens to eat them alive. What would a true friend do now?
Wendelin Van Draanen has written a richly layered book that offers a thought-provoking look at the boundaries of friendship and what it really means to be true.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thank you, friend 'smalls,' for recommending this. I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it. Perfect for male reluctant readers age 10-13, great for everyone else. Would be great for family or classroom discussion.
Yes, it's about what it means to be a true friend. It's also about courage. Almost everyone in the book acts courageously at one time or another. And the few that don't, well, they show us the consequences of cowardice. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Awesome and funny at most parts example of a great friendship
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Slim and powerful, describing a rambunctious joy in a rural summer. The boy's display a loose-limbed exuberance, and the suspicious, slightly hostile, slightly conspiratorial relationship between the boys and their sisters is hilarious and spot-on. The tragic turns feel authentic and not overly-dramatized.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Touching book that made me cry at the end.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good.IT IS ALSO FUNNY.THE END IS SAD.
