The Kings of Beacon

By Mike Jakubowski

All James wants to do is coast through senior year under the radar, after his mother Penny relocated them to Beacon the day before school started. But his plans are thwarted on day one after he crosses paths with Grady Tomlinson, Beacon High's star quarterback. And, somehow, James finds himself unexpectedly on the football team.

With more and more time together, James begins to fall for Grady. All this while learning to navigate the social circles of Beacon and actively avoid Penny and her boyfriend Ralph, the town pariah and religious zealot. Should he just risk everything and tell Grady how he feels, or play it safe?

An incredibly funny and touching story of first loves, friendships, and chaotic family life, The Kings of Beacon is a triumphant debut novel by Mike Jakubowski.
