    I met Melissa in the rubber room, a.k.a. in-school suspension. And that’s not her real name.She had secrets, I had enemies.“People are either useful or dangerous,” she said. “One or the other.”“Which one am I?” I said.“You’re both.”Meili was right. (That’s her real name.)You can solve a lot of problems if you don’t mind getting hurt.Jason Wilder is in permanent in-school suspension for fighting. Meili Wen gets there by breaking a girl’s finger. Jason and Meili don’t just connect; they collide. Two people who would never cross paths―outsiders from radically different backgrounds―they form an exhiliarating, unpredictable bond. When circumstances push, they push back. There’s no plan. And there’s no stopping."I am so crap. How can you stand being with me? Don’t answer that or I will crash this thing with both of us on it, swear to god, are you ready?”Yes. No. Didn’t matter.I reached both arms around Meili’s waist as we zoomed down the hill.

  • Wilder...

    Ellie Jones, Kevin Nickolai, OSB Father Ralph Wright, William Mathis, William E. Mathis

    Hardcover (Monograph Publishing, March 15, 2014)
    Since Wild...has proved itself to be, as an elderly abbot expressed it, a book for "children of all ages" Wilder...will most certainly be the same. It is once again, "the joy and surprise of childhood blended with the wit, wisdom and -yes- the touch of cynicism of the per on who has long trod the planet an knows it's ways." From Ulysses Grant the Soldier Ant to Sheba the Zebra, from Genghis Kahn the Killer Bee, via Matt the Gnat to Zach the ungroomed Yak, there is a giggle or laugh on every page. Once again when you reach the end of the alphabet you will be greeted by eight more beasts to populate your days and nights and bring a happy twinkle to your eye on what, up to that moment, might have been a dull day. The combination of monkish humor and artistic genius offer us fretting "sound bites" of joy. Enjoy!
