Jakk's Journey

Jakk's Journey is a coming-of-age story about a high school boy who builds a spaceship, flies toward Betelgeuse, and has adventures. He befriends aliens, grapples with sex and love and curious robots, dabbles in the supernatural, queries the mysterious and powerful God program, and battles evil forces hellbent on planetary destruction. Why is he being tailpiped around the galaxy by Sheela, his beguiling yet snarky female classmate? What started things, anyway: was it his suspension, a squirrel falling from a tree, the abandoned tablet, a science competition gone awry, or Sheela's fateful volleyball dive? How can Jakk find love? Can aliens teach him how to become a human?
