About this listen

Thomas is eleven and lives with his mum and dad and big sister Alisha. He was a pretty normal kid until two weeks ago when he discovered he had developed a startling new ability.

Every time anyone tells a lie Thomas develops a violent itch in his nipples. It's uncomfortable, embarrassing and gets Thomas into all sorts of trouble and he just wants it to go away.

So with the help of his two friends, Holly and Kevin, he sets out to find a cure.

A funny, clever and poignant story about family, travel and telling the truth from the author of Once and Aristotle's Nostril.

What the critics say

"Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and wrapping very serious stories inside them." (The Guardian)
"A virtuoso demonstration of how you can make comedy out of the most unlikely subject." (The Sunday Times)
"Can body parts be lie detectors? Thomas discovers he is a doubter, one of the few children who truly can detect when people are telling lies. Using this talent, Thomas becomes a game show celebrity and the one who restores harmony in his own family. Gleitzman's intimacy with his characters comes across in the nuances of his narration. As Thomas, Gleitzman can garner sympathy as schoolmates ostracize him, anticipation as he faces the cameras, and admiration as he maintains respect for his parents. Gleitzman perfects the annoying sister, the dejected parent, the bully-turned-buddy, and the crotchety husband. Join Thomas for a zany adventure that takes listeners from Australia to the Catacombs of Paris." (AudioFile Magazine)
