One must not tell a lie. Especially the One and Only Sparkella.

The newest addition to Channing Tatum's children's book series The One and Only Sparkella and the Big Lie, out now, finds our sparkly pal Sparkella excited for a playdate with a new student at her school. In order to impress him, she "borrows" a toy car from her best friend, which spirals into a series of fibs and lies.

This story, and the character of Sparkella herself, is based on Tatum's own daughter Everly "Evie" Tatum. "It was eating her up that she took it," Tatum tells EW about the real-life story that inspired the book. "She was so nervous to tell me, but then when she told me she felt better."
