The Free State of Jax by Jennifer A. Nielsen

 


Jaxson has had some very bad luck. Only the worst luck in the world would have him come to live with Uncle Clive and Aunt Helga, and their six kids. Life with Jax's cousins isn't easy - they are bullies - and his aunt and uncle can't even remember his name. Which is why, on the night before his 12th birthday, he sneaks over to the neighboring property, floats a raft out into the middle of the hot springs lake, and drops anchor. Jax is now the president and only citizen of his own nations, the Free State of Jax.
