Little White Lies — Lois I. Fisher

Everyone says Nina has a good imagination, a gift for telling stories. In fact, it's one of her stories that attracts Scott to her. He's one of the Daltonites, the most sophisticated clique in the school. Nina can't believe she's dating him!

But Nina soon finds that the Daltonites don't welcome outsiders. So she impresses Scott's friends with her stories. It's so easy: a little exaggeration here, a white lie there.

I'm doing this for Scott, she thinks. But her lies finally start to catch up with her, and Nina's afraid of losing Scott forever.
