I liked this short book when I read it as a teenager. Schoolboy Terpin tells a consoling lie to a stranger that contributes to the man's suicide. Horrified, Terpin vows never to tell a lie again. But his total honesty doesn't make him very popular. Funny and sad by turns. A good coming-of-age book.
