Seven friends trying to graduate high school get caught up with bullying, climate change, and other dysfunctions…
THE GROSTON RULES is an edgy book with suspenseful twists and turns. It is a captivating and lighthearted tale about teens in trouble, surviving through their strong friendships.
Adults, young adults and mature teens won’t be able to put it down, because the story is as much about teen survival and unschooling as it is a young adult coming of age tale, rife with dark humor, teen comedy, fuck ups, and the occasional raunchy teen story. It’s a fast paced laugh out loud book that teenagers will actually read – a naughty high school teen comedy that you can’t put down.
Softcover, 392 p
All they wanted to do is get high and graduate
Isaac, Adam, Helen, Charlie, Sean, Jésus and Rover, the seven friends in “Team Bomb Shelter,” had planned on coasting through their final semester at Ashby Bryson high. Instead, they got caught up in chaos.
When Helen is harassed by two football stars, Adam comes to her rescue and is charged with assault. Fat Charlie's father nearly dies of a heart attack. Jesus can’t make his art while chauffeuring his sibs around town. Rover's never had a date in his life. Helen's house is destroyed in a flood. Sean is coming out of the closet (finally). And Isaac can't get into college to save his life.
The last straw is when the climate-change related flood and freeze shuts down Ashby Bryson, and the whole school is bussed to their rival, Fectville Regional High. They've gone from top dogs to the bottom of the barrel.
But every time Team Bomb Shelter gets knocked down, they get up again, come together, and solve their problems. They throw the rules out the window and make up their own.
THE GROSTON RULES is like a humorous buddy war movie, with high school as the battlefield. Everyone in Team Bomb Shelter has their own challenges, but by working together, they overcome and ultimately triumph.
