AGE
Twelve
Old enough to understand embarrassment. Young enough to encounter it constantly.
THE CENTRAL CHARACTER
Jake Morrow
“If worrying was an Olympic sport, Jake would win gold.”
Twelve years old. Easily embarrassed. Fiercely loyal. Somehow always standing in the middle of a disaster he never intended to create.
WHO IS JAKE?
The Boy Behind the Disasters
Jake has an extraordinary ability to imagine everything that could possibly go wrong—and then find himself living through something even worse.
He worries about school, embarrassment, Ruby Mason and almost anything involving public attention. Beneath all that panic, however, is a kind and fiercely loyal boy.
Jake's family means everything to him. He would do anything for his twin brother Jack, and when the people he loves need him, he usually discovers more courage than he believed he had.
