Betsy is a young shepherd who loves telling tall tales. When she cries "Wolf!" as a prank, the other shepherds stop believing her—even when a real wolf appears. Can Betsy convince them in time to save her flock? This whimsical picture book from Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine playfully explores the consequences of dishonesty and the power of trust.
