Jesus: The Wilderness Years
Two thousand years ago, a young boy is on the verge of becoming a teenager in a small, unimportant town in the Middle East. His school reports describe him as a bit of a dreamer, knowledgeable about Scripture and with an impressive ability to tread water. His dad wants him to go into the family business and is not happy about his lack of career motivation. Luckily, the boy has a best friend who can help him cope with school, learn how to talk to girls and improve his awful storytelling-technique. The boy’s name? Jesus. The rest, as they say, is Biblical History.
This book is not intended to offend anyone’s right to believe whatever they wish. It is historical fiction. Rather unusually, you can decide how much is historical and how much is fiction. Any belief system should be able to absorb the shock of being questioned and tested. No Christians (or their beliefs) were harmed in the writing of this book.

About the author
Scott Pixello
33 books53 followersHi there Pixellites,
I’m a moderately-disturbed Brit. I’ve had seven books of non-fiction published with three different publishers under another name.
Luke I am Your Father is a humorous look at unplanned pregnancy, the main character in Gothic Girl 'goes goth' as a way to cope with pressures at home and school and Live Long and Prospero features a bunch of lunatics on a lighthouse facing automation. Rainbow is about a cow that can predict soccer scores and Gagfest UK is about stand-up comedy and a heckler who takes things too far. These books are not part of a series.
The Pixelloverse is currently expanding in a number of different and exciting directions. I've added parody self-help (The A-Z of Kids, Parts I & II), Biblical parody (Jesus: The Wilderness Years), a novel about Shakespeare, a school for geniuses (Smart School) and an ongoing series set in Roman-occupied Britain in AD 60, named after the hero, a would-be rebel without a toga: Keith Ramsbottom.
I love writing (and reading) but hate the self-promotion part of being a writer. I am painfully shy, don’t tweet and there are no pictures of me on the Net. I don’t even have a mobile phone (shock horror!). I do have a Facebook page (see www.facebook.com/scott.pixello).
I’m not a total hermit but for me, the words are the key things, not who produces them. I long to give up my day-job and write full time but for that I need to generate more sales online, which means readers, like you, need to spend some (but not much) of your hard-earned pocket money on Pixello products. I'm trying to write books that could not be written by anyone else. And maybe shouldn't be. I plan to release about three books a year until I run out of ideas, which sadly could be some time (I’ve got about 12 manuscripts at various stages of readiness). Watch the skies.

Absolutely loved this book! Loved the anachronisms, the humour, the characters - everything! And I’d never have believed I would enjoy a book about male adolescent Nazarenes!
