What is The Truth According to Arthur about?

Arthur has a problem. He rode his big brother’s bike even though Mum told him not to, and now he has bumped it into Mum’s car. He knows he should tell the truth, but that is easier said than done. Perhaps the truth could be bent, stretched, hidden or covered up? As Arthur tries to explain what happened, his story becomes more and more tangled. Will he confess, or can he find a clever way out of trouble?
