This book was definitely a page turner, and it was hard for me to put it down. This book turned my idea of reading around. Jack Peter is a confusing, interesting, and playful character. His parents are going through troubling times and are going to have to figure out how to help their son before it’s too late. What will happen to Jack Peter and his family? Will they survive or will they
