The Hidden Dominion of Geordie James

By Mike Dawson

In this uplifting middle grade novel, loner Geordie James joins four other struggling fifth graders in a science fair group project that answers the question "what is our place in this world?"

When Geordie becomes obsessed with the fate of a pig who escaped from a factory farm, the group project is put in jeopardy. As Geordie starts to push harder into difficult questions, he finds everything changing--his friendships, his ability to express himself, even how he plays his favorite online role-playing game, Dominion.

The Hidden Dominion of Geordie James is about kids coming to terms with a world that feels outside of their control, ending with the message that we humans do not exist apart from nature, but rather as an integral part of it.
