A car wreck took away his father and his leg. But a year later, thirteen-year-old Joseph McKinnon has a mission and it begins with an underground construction project in the woods.
Joeâs relying on dadâs buddy Fred to get the supplies he needsâĻand to keep things secret from mom. Aside from that, Joe plans to complete the project alone. But help keeps knocking and interference creates big problems. Soon, the situation gets dangerous.
To make matters worse, Joe must deliver two speeches in his language arts classâthe only thing he fears more than public speaking is death. But thereâs no way out of it. Or is there?
Accepting help from others and telling a few harmless fibs seem like reasonable temporary solutions to Joeâs problems. And while thereâs no telling how deep his lies will go, heâs definitely dug himself a holeâĻtwelve feet down.

John Penteros is a math tutor and former engineer who resides in the thermal nightmare known as Arizona. As an engineer, he wrote long and tedious specifications, procedures, and reports peppered with "unprofessional" artifacts to see if anyone was paying attention. The occasional chuckling response lit a small fire within him, leading to other writing endeavors like the annual Christmas letter, which received mostly 5-star reviews.
John is also full of make-believe, and when he makes a statement to people who've known him for at least ten minutes, they know to ask themselves "Wait ... is he just kidding me?" Put those things together and you get someone who writes fiction.
