Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's
got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and
leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot
of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk.
Ever. But then, one day at the flea market, Maddy does talk--to tell
Jack to trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. It's the
best mistake Jack has ever made.
In Mighty Jack, what starts as a normal little garden out back behind
the house quickly grows up into a wild, magical jungle with tiny onion
babies running amok, huge, pink pumpkins that bite, and, on one moonlit
night that changes everything...a dragon.
