Review
Praise for "Jack: Secret Circles"
"Readers of the adult Repairman Jack novels will enjoy bringing their background to this reading, but, luckily for kid readers, knowledge of the series is not vital to enjoying this smart, spooky mystery adventure."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"The story is a combination of the "Hardy Boys" and "The X-Files", with an excitement-infused voice that brings out the adventuresome kid in every reader."--"San Francisco"" Chronicle" --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.
Product Description
When his five-year-old neighbour goes missing, Jack can't help feeling responsible. He should have taken Cody home when he found him riding his bicycle near the Pine Barrens. Then a lost man wanders out of the woods after being chased all night by...something. Jack knows, better than anyone, that the Barrens are dangerous - a true wilderness filled with people, creatures, and objects lost from sight and memory. Like the ancient, fifteen-foot-tall stone pyramid he, Weezy, and Eddie discover. Jack thinks it might have been a cage of some sort, but for what kind of animal, he can't say. Eddie jokes that it could have been used for the Jersey Devil. Jack doesn't believe in that old folktale, but something is roaming the Barrens. Could it have taken Cody? And what about the strange circus that set up outside town? Could they be involved? So many possibilities, so little time...

Young Adult novel
8 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
F. Paul Wilson has contracted to write 3 JACK YA books.
This is Book nbr 2. It is for the 9 to 16yr old age group.
Jack is BECOMING our anti-hero Repairman Jack but he is
not him yet. Jack is 14yrs old and it is 1983.
The spear still has all its branches.
Jack has always been surrounded by the OTHERNESS but
was never aware of it.
Mrs. Clevenger & her 3 legged dog, Mr. Foster, Walt & the
Septimus Order have always watched him. Some of them have
helped him and some have harmed him.
Only we know how much pain,sorrow and adventure awaits Jack
in the future.
In this book a 5yr old boy is missing. Jack and Weezy find an
ancient pyramid.
Jack starts doing yard work for the Septimus Order. Maybe he
can find out what secrets the lodge building holds.
The scary piney lights are streaking across the Barrens.
Jack/Weezy & Eddie see, hear & smell some kind of creature while
in the woods but can't figure out what it is.
What is THE MYSTERY MACHINE ?
This is a nice read. I'am 60yrs old and I enjoy reading about Jack
as a young person. I think you will enjoy meeting Jack at this age
also.
I believe that DR. Wilson (5-17-46) has written 44 books so far. I
have 27 of them. He is a family physician and sold his 1st book in
1970. He mainly writes Horror and SF.

Great book if you have enjoyed the Repairman Jack series. Geared for young adults, but enjoyable by all as well. Gives some fun backstory to the intriguing saga.

Repairman Jack Rocks!!
7 Jun 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even with his young Jack novels, F. Paul Wilson has a winner in Jack: Secret Circles. Showing us what led Young Jack to becoming Repairman Jack proves to be just as fascinating as the novels that show him in his adult years. What fun it is to read & discover lost memories along with Repairman Jack of his childhood as he begins to put things together moving toward the final showdown. This book is another page turner as young Jack & his friends go off on adventures that keep you in suspense while taking you back to the 1980's & Reaganomics & Rubiks cubes!! If you're a Repairman Jack lover, you'll love this book!!
