The Adventures of Obadiah by Brinton Turkle*

Obadiah and his family are anticipating sheep-shearing day on Nantucket.  If, however, Obadiah continues telling falsehoods and stories, he will be forbidden to go.  Then as he wanders off by himself to look at the sheep, the biggest adventure unfolds.  But will his family believe him?
*Highly recommend.
