The Goob Factor
Parents… school… friends… bullies… fourteen years old is a tough age to be. Especially if your name is Gooby.
Like most teenagers, Jay Gooby is convinced he has it worse than anyone else. His parents don’t fit the normal mold, and he has endured a lifetime of merciless teasing, especially at the hands of his lifelong enemy Mike Thornley. But Jay has to take on more than just school and hockey when two major events take his parents adopt a special needs child, and a freak accident occurs at the hockey rink. Life sure can get a lot more complicated… and at the same time, a lot simpler.

Looking for an easy-to-read, laugh-out-loud novel? Then Goob is your man. Sure it's not the longest novel out there, but you'll treasure every laugh and be sure to want to read it over and over. At the same time, the novel has a lot of heart to it too, and you're sure to be moved towards to end.
