For Review:
thanks to Little, Brown & Co., HarperCollins and Goodreads :)
When Jack is sent to Hazelwood, Iowa, to live with his strange aunt and uncle, he expects a summer of boredom. Little does he know that the people of Hazelwood have been waiting for him for quite a long time.
When he arrives, three astonishing things happen: First, he makes friends -- not imaginary friends but actual friends. Second, he is beaten up by the town bully; the bullies at home always ignored him. Third, the richest man in town begins to plot Jack's imminent, and hopefully painful, demise. It's up to Jack to figure out why suddenly everyone cares so much about him. Back home he was practically, well, invisible.
(my review of book 2)
I am super excited to read both of these books. The paperback cover for Jack is gorgeous.
I am going on vacation in Maine for the next week, so my presence will be scarce around the interwebs. I have some post scheduled, but will be going internet free while I'm away. I'll talk to you all when I get back :) Happy Reading!
So that's what I got this week. What did you all get?
