The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones

"Lincoln Jones is a loner who prefers to keep his head down and use writing as a way to escape the trials of daily life at his new school. As he and his mother struggle to start over, Lincoln's attempts at invisibility are thwarted by a fellow sixth grader, a girl who shows him that he's got a lot to offer as a friend. Strong characters who value humor, perseverance, and compassion will particularly appeal to readers adapting to middle school." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

A fresh and funny story about a boy learning to become the brave hero of his own life, perfect for fans of Counting by 7s and The Fourteenth Goldfish.
Â
My secret life is filled with psychic vampires, wheelchair zombies, chain-rattlinâ€™ ghosts, and a one-eyed cat. But theyâ€™re nothing compared to my real-life stalker: a sixth-grade girl named Kandi Kain. . . .
Â
Lincoln Jones is always working on the latest story heâ€™s got going in his notebook. Those stories are his refuge. A place where the hero always prevails and the bad guy goes to jail. Real life is messy and complicated, so Lincoln sticks to fiction and keeps to himself. Which works fine until a nosy girl at his new school starts prying into his private business. She wants to know what heâ€™s writing, where he disappears to after school, and why he never talks to anybody. . . .
Â
The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones is a terrifically funny and poignant story about a boy finding the courage to get to know the real characters all around himâ€”and to let them know him.
