Weird Kid
เจเจธ เจเจกเฉเจ-เจเจฟเจคเจพเจฌ เจฌเจพเจฐเฉ
From the author of Cog and Voyage of the Dogs, Weird Kid is a hilarious and heartfelt homage to everyone who feels like they donโt belong. Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Stuart Gibbs.
Jake Wind is trying to stay under the radar. Whose radar? Anyone who might be too interested in the fact that he has shapeshifting abilities he canโt control. Or that his parents found him as a ball of goo when he was a baby.
Keeping his powers in check is crucial, though, if he wants to live a normal life and go to middle school instead of being homeschooled (and if he wants to avoid being kidnapped and experimented on, of course).
Things feel like theyโre going his way when he survives his first day of school without transforming and makes a new friend. But when mysterious sinkholes start popping up around townโsinkholes filled with the same extraterrestrial substance as Jakeโand his neighbors, classmates, and even his family start acting a little, well, weird, Jake will have to learn to use his powers in order to save his town.ย
""The short page count, humor, and action make this a good choice for reluctant readers. A solid purchase for school and public libraries."" โSchool Library Journal
