The New Phenomenon

Christian is a phenomenon on the athletic field and in the classroom, but a terrifying accident on a fishing trip with his grandfather changes his life forever. The Pearson family moved from the city to the sleepy town of Red Oak, Iowa, before his freshman year of high school. Christian hoped for a smooth transition to small town life, but he hides a secret that he plans to take to his grave. Being the new kid in school has been a blessing and a curse. Most of the boys in Christian's class view him as a threat, so Christian struggles to fit in. But as an outcast, his secret is safe. When three freshmen, all from the same family, start school a week late, Christian senses something different about these new students. He reaches out to "The Three" seeking some semblance of friendship in his new hometown. When "The Three" confront Christian about the secret he hides, Christian is faced with a huge problem. Will his secret cost Christian his friends, his family, his freedom, and even his life?
