Nothing but the truth takes place in Harrison New Hamshire at Harrison High School where ninth grader Philip Malloy goes to school. i think the time period is somewhere around the 1990's. it never specifically said what year in the book, but my teacher said that it was probably around the 1990's. hope this helps!

In "Nothing But the Truth" by Avi, the main character, Philip Malloy, is often referred to by his nickname "Phil." This nickname reflects his youthful identity and the casual nature of his relationships with friends and family. The story explores themes of truth and personal integrity through Philip's experiences in school and his interactions with authority figures.
Some of the metaphors in "Nothing but the Truth" by Avi include the "sticky tape" representing the entanglement of truth and lies, the "spinning plates" symbolizing the delicate balance between personal beliefs and societal expectations, and the "house of cards" signifying the fragility of truth under scrutiny.
