Jane & Jake's Adventures to Awesome: The Journey Begins

Mission Statement

The JNP Project™ is a positive self-esteem movement that promotes the growth of self-confidence in boys and girls by helping them discover and make choices from their inner awesome!


Although you can read the books in Jane & Jake’s Adventures to Awesome series in any order, we strongly recommend that you first read the Prequel story, THE JOURNEY BEGINS. Here you will meet the main characters: nine-year-old Jane, her new school friend Jake, her talking (and smart!) pet goldfish, Oracle, who magically whisks Jane and Jake away to the Undersea World of Awesome; and the residents of Awesome, including the wise and ancient (three-hundred years, eight months, and fifty-seven days, to be exact) Jaunty Mr. Sea Turtle, a crab named Monte the Magnificent, and the royal Mer-Twins, Princess Allegro and Prince Andante. Welcome to Jane & Jake’s Adventures… the place to discover your Inner Awesome. It is positively empowering!



Jane & Jake’s Adventures to Awesome: The Journey Begins

Jane can’t understand why she has no friends (other than her talking goldfish, Oracle), and she feels invisible to the kids in her class. Jake can’t understand why no one seems to get his sense of humor; some kids call him “weird.” Oracle is determined to help Jane and her new, true friend Jake see how gifted and glowing they both are. Oracle leaps out of his fish bowl and whisks Jane and Jake on a fantastic undersea adventure to discover their “inner awesome.”
