It''s hard, though. Grandpa is acting so strangely since his accident. I''m sure Mrs B. suspects something, and Mahesh must think I''m weird for avoiding him. My best friend Annie is too busy hanging out with Regan and Tegan to notice. But someone will find out if we''re not super careful. It''s lucky Tahlia has a plan . . .

Her aunt has brought something from Holland that Lucy wishes she''d never seen. Now she has to figure out how to avoid it, and fast. It''s time to prove she really is Lucy the Good. But how?A delightful story about trying to be good from author Marianne Musgrove and illustrator Cheryl Orsini.
