"Sam, Bangs & Moonshine" by Evaline Ness tells the story of a young girl named Sam who has a vivid imagination and a penchant for spinning tall tales. Living on a coastal island with her father and a cat named Bangs, Sam often indulges in fanciful stories filled with adventure and mystery. However, her embellishments get her into trouble when her fanciful tales start affecting her real-life friendships and the trust of those around her. Through charming illustrations and a heartfelt narrative, the story explores themes of honesty, the power of imagination, and the importance of facing the truth.
