Jax has been living with his grandmother ever since his parents died. Things were going well until his grandmother's mind began failing her. Jax is forced to move in with his aunt and uncle and their horrible children.
Living with the Grimmitz's means being bullied by the cousins and ignored by the adults. They don't even call him by his name. Why can't they remember his name is Jaxon Averett not Jack Everett? Jax is sure he would be better off living alone.
Forming his own country seems like the only way to be free of the Grimmitz family. Jax sets off across the cornfield to some land beside a hot spring lake. He has done his research and knows what it takes to form his own country - the Free State of Jax. It will take some doing, but Jax is determined.
Author Jennifer A. Nielsen shows readers what it is like to take matters into their own hands. There's a bit of history and mystery and legal wheeling and dealing as Jax prepares to make his own way in what is sometimes an unfair world.
