Rock And A Hard Place (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781775017509)

Jake Morris is a well-intentioned 13 year-old boy with a good heart. Trouble at home, and a relentless bully make his life miserable. He suffers from anger issues as well as poor self-esteem but finds refuge with his loyal dog, Berty. Life seems so complicated and difficult. Little does he know how incredibly tough the situation is about to get.

Jake finds a meteorite in a field near his school and learns that it possesses some intriguing powers that are both terrifying and exhilarating. These powers can be used for both good and bad purposes and it will be up to Jake to prevent the rock from falling into the wrong hands.

Jake's choices will determine the fate of planet Earth and whether he is granted the opportunity to join an elite society of superheroes. Jake's only problem is that he hasn't always made the best choices in life. Sometimes the right choice feels wrong and other times the right choice doesn't feel like a choice at all.

Can a boy with anger management issues, poor self-esteem, and who makes mistakes rise up to become a superhero? Is there something special about Jake that he has an opportunity to join the R.E.S. or do we all have it in us to achieve greatness?
