Just Jack
It's not easy fitting in at a new school. It's even harder to be yourself. A warm and funny story about making new friends and being yourself.

Tyler is funny and different and might be the key to getting Jack to realise that although he is brilliant at pretending to be other people, the very best thing he can be is . . . JUST JACK.
