April fourth is "tell a lie day," but we're going to twist it to "untell a lie day." So we asked our Teen Board members to confess  a lie they told about a book. See their answers, below! 

Although I tend to criticize the Twilight saga, I'll be honest and admit that I was completely in love with the series when I was reading it. I read those books back to back and enjoyed every second of it! --- Lynn W.

The biggest book related lie I have ever told was to one of my friends regarding THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green. She was worried the book would make her cry, and I told her that the book "wasn't really all that sad." I have mixed feelings about this lie because while I did feel guilty when she came crying to me about a week later, she would have missed out on an excellent book if I had not lied. --- Kate F.

When I was in middle school, I used to read those racy paperbacks sold in grocery stores. My parents (obviously) weren't too thrilled with my book selections, but they contented themselves with the fact that I was reading. Though I never lied about the fact that I was reading these books, I lied about why I was reading them. I know what you're thinking, and no, 13-year-old Alison hardly drooled over the books' steamier aspects. Though I told my parents I read them for the character development, I honestly only read them because I LOVED their covers; the covers always featured a Renaissance castle perched on a windswept crag with some inspirational title embossed across a pastel background (though on second thought, "DEFY NOT THE HEART" sounds more nauseating than inspiring). And to my tween, Disney-saturated mind, those covers represented all my fairytale dreams come to life. Come to think of it, I might scrounge around in my bedroom, dig out those books, cut off their covers and frame those beautiful castle scenes on my wall. --- Alison S.

I'm usually pretty honest when it comes to books, but occasionally when I'm assigned a book to read for school I either won't read it and look it up online, skim through it, ask my peers about it or just read the last chapter! --- Sara J.

When I was younger, my dad used to read the Harry Potter series to me. I told him that I would never, ever read past the point where we had stopped together. Truthfully, I finished most of the books a few weeks before he read the final chapter out loud. Can you blame me? --- Aliza M.

We read THE ODYSSEY --- a book about a hero returning home after the Trojan War told in a 10 year time span --- in my freshman year English class. The book looked like an encyclopedia and, to my beginner mind, read like one. However, I said that THE ODYSSEY was “an engrossing tale that I found to be relatable." --- Yaira M.

Once I found out that Rudy, Liesel's friend (and my favorite character) would die, I was so upset that I couldn't even look at THE BOOK THIEF anymore.  I know that it’s a sign of good writing when someone feels grief for a character, but I couldn't handle it.  So, I shoved the book into the back of my bookcase and told people I read it.  --- Maya B.

My friends all wanted me to read the Twilight series when it first came out. I started reading the first book and never finished, but to this day they think I read it! --- Cheyenne C.

Perhaps the greatest lie I ever told anyone was that Tobias Eaton (from DIVERGENT) doesn't die and that Tris and Four live happily ever after. Part of it was to mess with my friend who was reading the book, but mostly, it was to try to keep myself afloat in the sea of crushed dreams about the future of these two characters. Curse you, Veronica Roth. --- Pranshu A.

My “untell a lie” is about THE DREAMWALKER’S CHILD. I know that not every book is for every reader, and I tried to find the best possible aspects of the book, but I rated it one star more than I actually thought it deserved. --- Aspen R.

When I was young, I read the classic novel A LITTLE PRINCESS by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It took me a long time to finish since it’s a bit difficult to read. This made me angry, and so I told my mom I hated it. It was actually a very good book, and now that I look back on it, I really wish I hadn't complained about it so much! --- Maggie L.
