Jolted: Newton Starker’s Rules for Survival
Almost everyone in the Starker family has been hit by lightning except two people: 14-year-old Newton and his Great-Grandmother Enid. Newton enrolls in the Jerry Potts Academy of Higher Learning and Survival in Moose Jaw to learn how to beat the odds.Source: The Canadian Children’s Book Centre. Best Books for Kids & Teens. 2009.
