\nA New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Grown-ups lie. That\u2019s one truth Beans knows for sure. He and his gang know how to spot a whopper a mile away, because they are the savviest bunch of barefoot conchs (that means \u201clocals\u201d) in all of Key West. Not that Beans really minds; it\u2019s 1934, the middle of the Great Depression. With no jobs on the island, and no money anywhere, who can really blame the grown-ups for telling a few tales? Besides, Beans isn\u2019t anyone\u2019s fool. In fact, he has plans. Big plans. And the consequences might surprise even Beans himself.<\/p>\n
