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. <p/>In <i>Mighty Jack</i>, 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Included in School Library Journal's Best of 2016 list. <p/>Ben Hatke has a knack for writing stories that focus on smart, young characters who become caught up with robots, mythical creatures, and alien invasions. <i>Mighty Jack </i>is no exception. --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/><i></i>This first in a series flourishes up to its nail-biting cliffhanger: expect interest for the subsequent offering to positively bloom.
