Tell me the truth, Tom! - Jenny Oldfield

Tom Bean has cried wolf once too often, so when he spots a real fox in Bernie King's basement, nobody believes him! 'Yeah, right! Another one of your jokes, Tom!'. But Tom just happens to be telling the truth this time - life is so unfair! The only way to prove it is to go back and take a photo - so Tom hatches a plan. But as with everything in his hare-brained life, things don't quite go to plan. Tom ends up in trouble - yet again! Who said the camera never lies?

Born and brought up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Jenny Oldfield went on to study English at Birmingham University, where she did research on the Bront? Novels and on Children's Literature. She then worked as a teacher, before deciding to concentrate on writing. She writes novels for both children and adults and, when she can escape from her desk, likes to spend time outdoors. She loves the countryside and enjoys walking, gardening, playing tennis, riding and travelling with her two daughters, Kate and Eve.
