Junk Magic and Guitar Dreams

A guitar, a box of junk, and a pile of trouble...

Then he inherits a box of random junk from a dead grandfather he barely knew, only to discover that the junk is infused with his grandfather's memories. Can this "junk" help Otter win the girl of his dreams, reconnect with his family, and keep him out of juvenile detention...maybe even become a rock star?

You'll love this touching, contemporary fantasy because it will play power chords on your heart strings.

"Logan is a captivating storyteller from word one. Junk Magic and Guitar Dreams is a YA novel full of hope, adventure, grief, first love, self-doubt, self-discovery, triumph, and magic--everything I love in a book."
- Rebecca Moesta, New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights series

"Love, loss, music, and magic, woven into an intricate pattern that smells like teen spirit. You don't want to miss this heart-wrenching, atmospheric, gripping tale of grit, friendship, and a mystical family legacy that might be more of a curse than a gift. And did I mention music?" - Chris Mandeville, Author of the In Real Time YA time travel adventure series

"This is a brilliant read. Wonderful, well-written plot and storyline that had me engaged from the start. Loved the well-fleshed-out characters and found them believable. Great suspense and action with wonderful worldbuilding that adds so much to the story." - Goodreads reviewer

"The chapter titles! *chef's kiss." - Goodreads reviewer

"Maybe it was just at the right place at the right time, but Junk Magic and Guitar Dreams was a novel I couldn't put down. Otter's (the recently-orphaned protagonist) struggles really resonated with me, and the creative use of music throughout the novel brought his angst and growth to another level. Logan's skill with prose really shines when he describes the protagonist and his band's performances, building emotions and memories that show his passion for music. If you manage to read those descriptions and not remember when the perfect song fit the perfect mood that you swore would never end and never change, you probably were never a teenager. This is a book that I'll keep in the back of the shelf, but know that whenever I need to relive those glory days (now I'm writing in lyrics, that's how infectious this book was), I can reach for it like an old friend." - Goodreads reviewer

"A magical journey through the worst terrors and most vivid dreams of the teen years and a reminder of the human connections that bind us all, imperfect as we are." - Amazon Reviewer
