It's a delight to hear Paulsen himself introduce us to the character that "came" to him and sparked both LIAR, LIAR and FLAT BROKE. Narrator Joshua Swanson delivers an authentic first-person voice for Kevin Spencer, the 14-year-old who uses ever-escalating lies as his "superpower." Swanson has a sly, wry, young-sounding voice that makes Kevin's cocky teen attitude palatable. The kid only tells people what he thinks they really want to hear. There's a sharp jab of truth in his cynical observations and a funny story about friendship, family, and science projects gone wrong. Kevin eventually discovers the downside of lying, which—let’s face it—is what we really want to hear. Narrator and character share a charisma that sells what might otherwise sound cynical and makes us cheer when we finally stumble across "accidental truth."
