Description

Jacob is the only one who can protect us all from a vengeful lunatic.

But Jacob's a tiny sixth grader who's scared of his own shadow. And his only known talent is hiding.

A misfit in his own home, a boy out of place in his own skin, Jacob has been hiding all his life--in his head, or behind his only friend.

His kind of different just isn't accepted.

He thought hiding would keep him safe. But he was wrong.

For Jacob's hiding has buried more than one truth, more than one secret. Including a destiny and a duty that are his to fulfill.

And a powerful talent. One that could doom his people.

Or save them...if he can find the courage to stop hiding from the thing that terrifies him the most--the truth about who he is:

A boy who likes boys.
A boy with a destiny foretold in an ancient legend.
A boy whose love could save us all.

Jacob is the only one who can protect us all from a vengeful lunatic.

But Jacob's a tiny sixth grader who's scared of his own shadow. And his only known talent is hiding.

A misfit in his own home...

Featured Reviews

I really enjoy that this book is about overcoming fears about who you are and fears in gereral. Also that it's a book geared towards preteens/ teens about being gay and as an LGBT ally I love it and think more books should be this brave and write about this. Every character in this has a major character flaw, and they work so hard to better themselves because of it.

This is a great book for middle school and up. It touches on some very sensitive subjects. Such as coming out as gay, and being who you truly are. This books shows Jacob's pain and emotions very clearly making it powerful and very realistic.
