Fifteen year old Josey is a liar. She'd like to stop. But after Mom left, the lies started popping out, like the time Josey left her little brother at the library and told Dad he'd run away.Then Josey meets a boy who tells bigger whoppers than she does. He says he's the son of a privateer who's been dead two centuries. He's so convincing Josey's brother believes every word and sets off to find the privateer's hidden treasure.When her brother disappears, Josey is sure she knows where he's gone. But everyone thinks she's lying again. Everyone, that is, except the so-called privateer's son. He knows she's telling the truth because jeweled riches are only part of his tale. There's also the snooperscope, a device that makes time leaps possible, like the one that brought him to the present.The story is fantastical...and yet Josey will do anything to save her brother--including traveling back in time two hundred years with a boy she can't trust.
