Book Description:
Most
people call me The Jackdaw. If they don't, I tell them they probably should.
Meet
fifteen-year-old Jack 'Jackdaw' Dawson, a young man with a serious plan.
Daydreaming in class one day, Jack is hit over the head with an idea so
blinding, so extraordinarily visionary and so downright fantastic he knows it
can't fail. It's his ticket out of school - an app that will stop you from
getting into trouble for daydreaming in class (ahem...) Fame, glory and tons of
money seem just around the corner - but then Jack runs into a few problems.
First
of all, his warring parents are determined to push him into a career of their
choosing (mum says office, dad says factory) without much thought as to what
Jack might actually want. Secondly (and quite importantly) Jack doesn't know
the first thing about making apps, and the only person who does wants nothing
at all to do with Jack.
That
is, unless he does her a favor... which leads to someone else needing another
favor, then another and another - until Jack finds himself sat upon a very
precarious pile of promises to a whole bunch of random people. Can the Jackdaw
complete his scheme, or is this too much for even his superior brain to cope
with?
My
Review:
“40%
Scheming, 30% Hilarious, 20% Weirdos, 10% Genius.” A statement that Jackdaw
And The Randoms truly lives up to. There not once was a dull moment
throughout the story of Jackdaw and his schemes, from million dollar ideas to
Elsie Green and her weird ways there is always something going on.
I
went into this book a little unsure of how I felt as this particular genre was
not frequently featured on my shelf, however I am so thankful to have received
this book and had the time to read it. The characters were quirky, original and
true to themselves throughout the whole story. The storyline was unlike any
other I’ve ever read before but it was indeed enjoyable. The cover art is very
amusing and oddly confusing if you have not read it yet.
