Ten-year-old Aldo has decided it’s OK to be a little artsy-fartsy. So when his grandma Goosy gives Aldo a second sketchbook, he fills it with more hand-drawn comics, rock-candy B words, and accounts of his everyday adventures.

Aldo and his best friend, Jack, find a diamond ring, which Aldo thinks is bogus—even though Jack—the rock hound!—is sure it's real. Aldo loses then finds then loses the ring again, and bedlam ensues. Where will the ring turn up, and who will reap the rewards?

In addition to an engaging cartoon story, Bogus includes an illustrated glossary of fun B words used throughout the book, such as berserk, bona fide and buzzkill.
