About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is grappling with the complexities of rules, integrity, and when it might seem right to break them for a good cause. History-loving Stuart is wrongfully blamed for destroying his town's precious historical diorama. To fix it before the big bicentennial celebration, he must secretly team up with his rival, Mack, the real culprit. This funny and fast-paced story explores teamwork, integrity, and the unexpected friendships that can form when you are trying to do the right thing, even if it means bending the rules. It is an excellent choice for independent readers who enjoy a lighthearted caper with a lot of heart.
