Wendelin Van Draanen

Swear to Howdy Wendelin Van Draanen Reprint edition

Joey Banks is a walking adventure. He?s funny, daring, mischievous?and frequently in trouble. Or he would be if anyone found out about half the stuff he?s done. But Rusty Cooper knows how to keep a secret. And Joey?s the best friend he?s ever had. But then comes a secret that is at once too terrible to tell and too terrible to keep. A secret so big it threatens to eat them alive. What would a true friend do now?

Wendelin Van Draanen has written her most compelling, richly layered book yet. It?s a thought-provoking look at the boundaries of friendship and what it really means to be true.
