4X Award-Winning Book
Can Two Teens Stop A Worldwide Catastrophe?
Matty Weber should be dead. Orphaned and suffering from PTSD after a fiery car crash claims both of his parents, the 16-year-old genius struggles to adapt to life at his new high school. But he gets a rough start when he finds himself unwittingly sat at the lunch table of the school's elite.
Caught up in the drama of high school romance and bullying, Matty attempts to win over his dream girl Samantha, all while avoiding getting beat up or shoved into someone's locker.
But his problems are only just beginning... because after a dreaded school examination is put on hold by a cyberterrorist attack, Matty and his best friend Gabriel are plunged into a desperate bid to unravel a worldwide mystery, as society and his school begin to crumble around them.
When the stuck-up popular kids beg Matty for help, he must rise above his trauma and become the unlikely hero his school needs. But his past hides a shocking secret...and it's about to come to light. Matty must make an impossible choice - with consequences far bigger than he ever imagined.
Step into a riveting YA novel that artfully blends thrilling action with the perennial challenges of navigating high school's social hierarchy and the trials of teenage love. With powerful themes of self-discovery, overcoming trauma, and trust, the first book in Botheration is perfect for fans of young adult fiction with a brainy protagonist and plenty of twists & turns.
