Jake, Reinvented
ByPublisher Description
There is a mysterious new student at Fitzgerald High, Jake Garret. He seems to have it all figured out. He looks like he just stepped off the cover of the J. Crew catalog, he is the best kicker the football team has ever had, and best of all, he hosts the party to go to every Friday night. All the guys want to be like him and all the girls want to date him, but Jake only has eyes for Didi, the girlfriend of alpha male and quarterback, Todd Buckley . As Jake's friend Rick gets to know him, he at first admires him, then starts to like him, but soon grows to fear for him as he learns Jake's dangerous secret. From beloved young adult author Gordon Korman, comes a new look at age-old themes about popularity, acceptance, and human nature.

“This was a book I read to a few of my students for their English class. I thought it was a good book and the students seemed to like it. They enjoyed the cliffhangers of the chapters and wanted to keep reading when we ran out of time. The little nods to The Great Gatspy were a fun touch for this retelling that unfortunately they didn’t get🫠🫠.”
“The best part about this book was finding how Korman changed each major Gatsby plot point”
“1.5/5 stars for a few funny lines. The grand scale of things is just laughable when compressed into a high school setting…the stakes have never been lower. Idk, maybe social cliques were still rigid in 2003, but the way everyone reacted to Jake being a former nerd was just ridiculous.”
