Wakefield

by Troy H. Gardner, Erin Callahan

Overview

Max and Astrid meet at Wakefield, an institution for troubled teens. After some predictable struggles, the two become BFFs, get some therapy, and lean on each other while battling their inner demons. Then they get discharged, go back to their quiet suburban lives, and live happily ever after.

Oh, wait. No. This is not that story.

This is a story about what happens when your life gets weird...and then weirder. Because at Wakefield, Max and Astrid cross paths with Teddy, an enigmatic young man who claims he can see people's voices and move objects without touching them. The weirdest thing? He might actually be telling the truth. And Max and Astrid might be on the verge of uncovering a vast conspiracy and a world of magic that's always been lurking just below the surface of their reality.

About the Author

Erin Callahan grew up by a small glacial lake in New Hampshire and, after brief stints in Colorado and Rhode Island, she settled back in the Granite State with her husband and daughter. As a small child, she told her mother she'd defaced a wall with crayons because she'd been possessed by an imp. She's convinced that same imp drives her to write. When she's not at her day job or cranking out novels on her laptop, you can find her soaking in the new golden era of television, stalking her favorite musicians on Twitter, and trying not to embarrass herself on the volleyball court. She loves giant squids and the color red, hates the phrase "no offense," and thinks birds are creepy.



Once upon a time, shew as a lawyer but found herself unemployed at the height of the recession. For her own sanity, she started writing, and to make ends meet she took a job at a residential program for teens. The kids she met there will forever serve as a well of inspiration for the YA she writes.



Troy H. Gardner was born in Florida but left at the ripe age of six months. He grew up and earned his Bachelor's Degree in New England before returning to the Sunshine State just in time for Hurricane Irma.



He started writing stories on his Tandy Personal Computer as a child in the '90s after devouring the works of Stephen King in elementary school.



Red is his favorite color, but blue hasn't gotten the memo yet. He doesn't understand why fans can't equally love Star Wars and Star Trek (they're different genres, people!). When Troy isn't writing, or talking about writing, he enjoys killing hours on his PlayStation or watching horror movies (both really great and incredibly bad are his jam).
