1. Young Adult fiction from Robert Wilder (include cover image located in the 'EXTRAS' dropbox link)
A
STORY ABOUT LOVE, LOSS, AND LOYALTY. Being a teenager is hard enough
without your mother in rehab and your slightly inept stepfather doing his best
not to screw things up. But at least, Coy has Monroe. Coy is a quirky teenage
boy and his best friend Monroe is a girl who is just as odd and funny and
obsessed with 80’s culture as he is. So when Monroe comes down with a
mysterious illness, his inner turmoil only grows. As Monroe gets sicker and Coy
gets a girlfriend from another social crowd, the balance tips and Coy has to
figure out how not to give up on his friend, his family, or himself. Nickel is a hilarious, heartbreaking
and honest portrayal of the complicated world of being a teenager today.
“No one has ever written about the pains of being a
teenager–physically and psychologically, inside and out–quite like Robert
Wilder in his startling debut novel. He has created indelible characters in
Monroe and Coy–funny and sad and strong and broken–and NICKEL is about as real as it gets.

“One of the best books
about teenagers I’ve ever read. An incredible, engaging voice frames this
brutal, beautiful, heartbreaking first novel.”
–GARY SHTEYNGART, New York Times best-selling
author of Little Failure: A Memoir, and Super Sad True Love Story
“The joy of Nickel is in watching a deep friendship
between two outsiders land so squarely inside a reader’s heart. Monroe and
Coy’s way of speaking is brilliantly sharp, fast and
clever as if the wild curves of their private language are the very thing
keeping them sane as the world goes crazy around them. For anyone who has ever
felt weird. For anyone who has ever been a friend. Wilder’s book belongs
on the shelf beside that other great chronicler of teen friendships: S.E.
Hinton. ”

“I loved this novel for its
humor and pathos, for its honesty and accuracy about what it means to live in
our world. Nickel features
a heartbreaking set of circumstances, yet its narrator never loses his
essential charm as a young man ready to find hilarity even in the direst of
dark times. The first thing I wanted to do was recommend the book to
everybody.”

that captures the teenage mind quite like Robert Wilder’s funny and brilliantly
honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable. I advise you

“Compassionate, frightening
and funny, this is a terrific book. With seeming ease Wilder gets precisely the
ironic detachment and surface sophistication of today’s youth culture while
delving straight into the heart of adolescence, its fragile emotions, its
awkwardness, uncertainty and ancient fears. Despite my initial
hesitations about diving back into the isolating terrors of high school and of
serious illness, I was immediately won over by this author’s keen insight,
his rare ability with language, his leavening humor
and–using all of these in tandem–his power to convince.”

“Robert Wilder’s Nickel is a feisty, fantastically gripping
story. The novel is a funny, frank, heartbreaking portrait of adolescence,
which the author knows all too well as the most emotionally intense period of
anyone’s life. This is doubly true for Wilder’s Coy, a smartass but deeply
bruised nonconformist grappling with illness and threat all around him. I
haven’t read a teenage narrator this well-drawn, this vexingly captivating
since Salinger!”
–CLAIRE VAYE WATKINS, award-winning author of Gold Fame Citrus, and Battleborn

“This funny, sad, and
tender novel sweeps us effortlessly into the land of sectarian cliques and
conspiracies—high school. We learn, as if for the first time, that some of us
get acquainted with incalculably dark knowledge too soon. Like Lorrie Moore’s Who Will Run the Frog Hospital,
Rob Wilder’s novel reminds us that adolescent best friendships are the purest
form of love. And the site of purest heartbreak too.”
