The Pen (book)

The Pen is a novel from Herb Scribner. It is book one of "The Pen" trilogy.

Jake Serent is the biggest loser you’ll ever meet. But he’s got something you don’t — a pen that can save the world.

After his cousin goes missing, Jake soon finds himself on a journey that takes him worlds away to a planet called Discis, where he’s told he’s the only person who can wield a magical Pen that can stop an evil tyrant, called The Creator, from wreaking havoc on the planet’s citizens.

But that’s easier said than done. Jake, along with the friends he makes along the way, is bombarded with hardship after hardship, including a torrential blizzard, inner demons and the temptation to go back home. Does Jake, who's never succeeded at anything in his life, have the courage and strength to save an entire planet?
