Jinx & the Locket is a tender, clear-eyed coming-of-age story about fear, truth, and the courage it takes to let go of the stories that once kept us safe.
Ten-year-old Jordan Jinx Harris has always been good at noticing things-a little too good, according to the adults in his life. When he speaks truths out loud, people flinch and tell him to stop jinxing things. So Jinx learns to rely on something else instead: a small locket his father says will protect him from danger, especially the stray dog that haunts the edges of his neighborhood.
Warm, wise, and deeply human, Jinx & the Locket is a story about trading superstition for understanding, certainty for curiosity, and protection for honest presence-and discovering that real safety doesn't come from avoiding the sharp edges of life, but from being courageous enough to meet them.
