Twelve Feet Down
Sobre aquest llibre
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.
Joe’s relying on dad’s buddy Fred to get the supplies he needs…and 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 class—the only thing he fears more than public speaking is death. But there’s no way out of it. Or is there?
Accepting help from others and telling a few harmless fibs seem like reasonable temporary solutions to Joe’s problems. And while there’s no telling how deep his lies will go, he’s definitely dug himself a hole…twelve feet down.
Sobre l'autor
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.
