(3) 4-6 Running away with his mother from her abusive boyfriend, sixth grader Lincoln Jones has it rough. Bullied at school and teased for his Southern accent (dropped gs appear throughout), Lincoln finds solace in writing while spending his afternoons at the psychiatric care facility where his mother works. Lincoln's is a unique voice of courage and perseverance in the face of adversity and self-doubt.
