Nolichuck! TJ's Wild Frontier Adventure (Green Book Series) by Jackson Keene

Review copy provided by Author

Synopsis:

TJ’s just an ordinary fourteen year old kid with extraordinary problems at home and school:  A broken up family from his parents’ bitter divorce, evil bullies almost every afternoon, failing grades, boring classes, snobby girls, mean teachers, cut from basketball tryouts, few friends. 

     Life is rough for TJ Cockrell.

     And then that mysterious little green book had to go and throw him into the past.  And not just any past, but into the untamed forbidding forests of 1802 eastern Tennessee along with the savage Indians, wild beasts, bloodthirsty robbers, backwoods ruffians, and log cabin living! Yup, it’s definitely not 2011 Knoxville anymore.

     And he thought his present life was bad news!  But TJ’s adventures are only beginning.  Along the way, he fights off killer beasts and bandits and braves, meets the young Davy Crockett, gains a world of confidence in himself, finds his first real love, and is befriended by a fantastic frontier family who really has it together.

     When he returns to the present, he’s a brand new person––but there's killers loose in his house, bullies waiting to beat him up at school, a pretty new girl at Highland High he's hasn't even seen yet.  And the aftermath of the little green book to deal with!

Review:

This novel is YA and super awesome! My children are book lovers as well as I and I can GUARANTEE that they will be reading this one and I'm pretty certain they will love it considering I am grown and I loved it! There is a good lesson to be learned as well as a very entertaining story. I will be reading all future books to come and collecting them for my children for sure!
