The World according to Gabe

This is the second book in the GP series. In a neighborhood named after the planets and the solar system, Gabriel Peters and his friends explore a truly magical place to grow up in. Gabe has overcome much of his physical drawbacks and is pursuing a life of great adventure when alas he finds out he is a "repeater".

As a budding writer, Gabe keeps a journal to observe the world around him. His adventures will lead him and the members of the Secret Detective Brotherhood to explore beyond the safety of their neighborhood. A new kid, Murph, moves into the neighborhood, almost causing World War lll. Gabe visits his 'chicken-twirling' grandmother on the farm. Gabe's bullying big brother Carl has moved across the hall and Gabe has moved to the lower bunk. Let the adventures continue!
