Hey! You made it! Come on in and look
around. There's new stuff going on, such as....
*Starred Review* "Laconic
but full of heart, smart, thoughtful and proudly working-class,
Remy makes a fresh and immensely appealing hero. Wyatt's prose
is tautly evocative throughout; her plot is a welcome departure
from the stale conventions of the hero's journey."—Kirkus
It's here!
Funny How Things Change
Farrar, Straus & Giroux
"A revelation" GuysLitWire.com
At seventeen, you're not supposed to already be where you
want to be. You've got a whole world to make your way through,
and you start by leaving the dead-end coal town where you grew
up. That's what Remy Walker plans to do, to follow his girlfriend
when she leaves for college. It would be the start of everything
they ever wanted. Even a fascinating young artist from out-of-state
who shows Remy his home through new eyes isn't going to get in
the way of those dreams.
Over the course of a summer, Remy learns how much he has to give
up for a girl, and how much he needs to give up for a mountain.
