Jacob's Journal of Doom: Confessions of an Almost-Deacon — Kenneth Pike

It's not easy being eleven. Just ask Jacob Young. He has big plans to create the best video game ever, but between church, Scouts, and his family, Jacob is having a tough time.

Things are rough at school, too. The Beast bullies Jacob at lunch, and Jenny Hayes calls him a baby in front of everyone.

It's a good thing Jacob still has his best friend, Eric, by his side. But would they still be friends if Jacob invited Eric to Scouts? Or even to church?

Jacob's Journal of Doom records the ups and downs of Jacob's life - the good, the bad, and the hilarious.
