Join Andrew Simonet at his launch party for his debut YA novel, Wilder. Andrew is a choreographer and YA writer in Philadelphia. He co-directed Headlong Dance Theater for twenty years and founded Artists U, an incubator for helping artists make sustainable lives.
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 exhilarating, unpredictable bond. When circumstances push, they push back. There’s no plan. And there’s no stopping.
"A page-turning, mind-twisting adventure that illuminates the complexity of male violence–Jason’s story gripped me by the lapels and refused to let me look away."—Dashka Slater, award-winning author of The 57 Bus
