Lincoln Jones is always working on the latest story he's got going in his notebook. Those stories are his refuge. A place where the hero always prevails and the bad guy goes to jail.

She wants to know what he's writing, where he disappears to after school, and why he never talks to anybody. Lincoln Jones is always working on the latest story he's got going in his notebook. Those stories are his refuge, a place where the hero always prevails and the bad guy goes to jail.
