Iggy has executed what he considers his most brilliant plan yet. He saved his candy stash, rescued his family, and protected the toaster from certain doom. By his logic, he deserves a trophy, unlimited respect, and definitely more candy. There's just one problem: nobody else sees it that way. Rudy Heckie definitely doesn't agree, even though he got a cool scar out of the deal. Mr. Heckie seems ungrateful too. Even Iggy's parents fail to appreciate his heroic efforts. From where Iggy stands, everyone should be celebrating him. The reality looks quite different from everyone else's perspective. This third adventure in Annie Barrows's series about a well-meaning troublemaker explores how the same events can look completely different depending on who's telling the story. Iggy remains convinced he's the hero, even when the evidence suggests otherwise.
