I’ve teamed up with BRAVE Books to write a story that teaches kids to be brave. It follows Jax Desparks as his great invention explodes in a big BOOM! He faces his fear head-on and learns that true bravery means being scared but trying anyway.
Order the book
A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to the Parker Project to help ease the financial burdens faced by families with children battling cancer. These families are some of the bravest people I’ve ever seen, facing pain and fear most of us can’t imagine. Every pre-order helps us give back to the families of these cancer warriors.

In a family of brilliant inventors, Jax DeSparks is determined to prove he belongs. He’s spent all summer perfecting his rocket-powered invention, until one spectacular BOOM! POW! sends it (and his confidence) up in smoke.
Shaken and scared to try again, Jax begins to doubt whether he has what it takes to join his family on the Wall of Wonder. But with the help of his loyal stuffed dino, Rex, and his encouraging parents, Jax discovers that failure isn’t the end, it's just part of the process.
As the Invention Fair approaches, Jax must face his fear head-on and learn that true bravery means being scared… but trying anyway. And when he does, he finds himself shouting, BOOM! POW! I’m braver now!

"My little one has always been fond of the "tactical t-rex" on Scotts channel but to receive a plushie of him was a MAJOR plus. The story at bedtime stirred up some questions and some interest I didn't know my little one would even dabble in. My little one had an adventurous dream thanks to "Boom! Pow! I'm Braver Now!". Been praying for Mr. Scott since his accident - really shows that good can really come from the worst."
"Scott's' book puts across a very important life philosophy. I feel that every young boy and girl should read it. Maybe this will help save some future problem or situation from the moral or emotional pain that kids may face experience. . Thanks Scott. Bob Betts 81 YO Vietnam Veteran and Gunsmith"
"My son loves this book and it's companion stuff, Rex"
"Shipping was a little long, but came in great condition."
"My son loves it. My husband and I have been a huge fan of Scott DeShields for a very long time. My son is too now."
"My 5 year old son loves the story and talks about being brave"
"My five year old son and I love Kentucky ballistics. So when he announced his book we pre-ordered it immediately. We have been reading it everyday and he has been going through it on his own and reading the parts “BOOM POW” all by himself. We love it and we’re also sooooo excited when we saw my son’s name in the book too! That was special. Thank you so much!!!"
"My teenage daughters and I are real fans of the authors YouTube channel. When we first saw the book was available with the Dino plushy, my younger daughter wanted it. It’s a book for much younger kids, but the art and story are great. Heck, I even read the book myself and got a bit emotional. The Dino is of real good quality as well. Only thing I wish was different would be for the book to be printed right here in the USA, not in China."
"My daughter has been afraid of loud noises since she saw all of the emergency vehicles at the parade. This was a good opportunity to help explain how she can learn to overcome that fear. She is a huge fan of Kentucky Ballistics. We also really enjoyed all of the subtle nods to faith and Scott's show in the artwork. I think it was a wonderful lesson that after Jax's accident, he uses his experience to create something new that was not in his plan before."
"Big fan of kentucky ballistics for years now and was so excited to be able to get the autographed bundle with the t-rex plush for my 1yr old son to help share the joy scott brings. Great charity associated with the purchase to help families in need. The quality of the book and plush is top tier. Havent read the story yet but im sure its a great story with great morals incorporated. Cant wait til my son is old enough to realize his name is also in the back of the book."
