Arthur Smith wants to be in the spotlight. But will he be a villain or a hero? Arthur wants to be liked. Everyone is nice to Mervyn Magee when he comes to school wearing a blue bow tie like a butterfly - even Henrietta Turtle. So Art decides he needs a butterfly tie too. It's not popularity he gets, though, but trouble - lots of it. Like Daniel in the Lions' den; the subject of the class play. But can Art shine in the end? Find out in this fanny, true-to-life story for young readers.
