Ever come across a situation that simply wasn't right--where someone was getting the dirty end of the stick and you wished you could make things right but didn't know how? Fourteen-year-old Jack knows how. Or rather he's learning how. He's discovering that he has a knack for fixing things. Not bikes or toys or appliances--situations....

It all starts when Jack and his best friends, Weezy and Eddie, discover a rotting corpse--the victim of ritual murder--in the fabled New Jersey Pine Barrens. Beside the body is an ancient artifact carved with strange designs. What is its secret? What is the secret of the corpse? What other mysteries hide in the dark, timeless Pine Barrens? And who doesn't want them revealed?

Jack's town, the surrounding Barrens, his friends, even Jack himself...they all have..."Secret Histories."

Industry Reviews

"Wilson deftly keeps interest high with well-drawn characterizations, modulating the thrills with details of day-to-day life in the early 1980s. Cracking good fun for teens." --Kirkus Reviews

"Fast paced and wonderfully crafted, this is a great book for both adult fans of Jack, and a wonderful new series for young adults. If you haven't read Wilson yet, this is a good place to start." --Crimespree Magazine

"After 11 Repairman Jack novels for adults, most of which have strong elements of science fiction and fantasy, Mr. Wilson has written Jack: Secret Histories, his first for teenagers... It's easy to see why Stephen King describes himself as the president of the Repairman Jack Fan Club." --New York Sun
