Books with author E. K. Johnston

Reincarnation offers a second chance… but it comes with strings attached. On Jay's world coming of age is a big deal. That's when the recollections start. Recollections are powerful dreams filled with memories of the dreamer's previous life on Earth. They can lay the foundation of a successful second life, even change the world. Jay remembers everything of the woman he was on Earth. Ri Sun-Hui was a brilliant scientist, but she served a dictator's dark dreams. Hers was a life of misery with only a single joy—the precious daughter she would die for. Jay's memories are beyond disturbing. They threaten to destroy his new life. Can Jay escape who he was? If you ever wonder "what if?" you'll love this tale. Get it now. "A sparkling debut that leaves the reader's mental wheels turning." - Kirkus Reviews ★★★★★ "The writing is great, the plot wonderful and the characters mesmerizing. RE Johnston transports readers into interesting landscapes and worlds, and invites them to redefine life." - Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite "Adults will enjoy the thought provoking study in the socio-political environment while young adults will identify with the adolescent who enjoys video games, his friends, and his girlfriend. It has the depth of character and connection to family and young love that ground it in our reality today, while at the same time allowing your imagination to soar.” - Susan Stradiotto quoted in Hidden Gems' Best Young Adult Books We've Recently Reviewed

Set in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, with the CIA Headquarters around the corner, 12-year-old Will Wand, Agent 003.5, has his first assignment - to save the world, or at least to uncover the mole in his mother's advertising company. Will strongly suspects his bossy, annoying cousin Penelope, visiting from the U.K., is a double agent, and when he finds he diary written in code, he knows he's onto something ... but if you hear any more, he'll have to kill you (or at least confiscate your Star Wars walkie-talkie). "Masterful inventions and a melding of cultures add ingenuity and flavor to author Johnston's tale of how family can be counted on above everything else. A tale of ingenuity and persistence that is rich in flavor and family values. Hold on tight for a fast-paced ride inside the mind of the 12-year-old James Bond clone!" -Susan Womble, author of Newt's World: Beginnings, 2008 Gold Medal Winner Florida Book Awards in Children's Literature "This kid-sized spy tale takes the reader on a secret, but entertaining mission full of clever codes, surprises and fun." - Timothy Roland, author of the Comic Guy series (Scholastic Inc.)
