Resilient: A Teen Justice Novel -

THe teens who challenged City hall

Resilient is a coming of age story that will have you cheering for a trio of teens that never gives up.

For high school junior Steve Brandon, trouble begins with a short fishing trip, a relaxing escape from reality. Steve’s world turns upside-down when he discovers a mysterious metal box on the Missouri River’s muddy banks. The golden treasure inside presents a mystery that must be solved.

Steve sets out with his best friend and a cousin to learn the gold’s secrets. The three are soon immersed in an adventure that sends shockwaves through the city’s highest offices. Along the way, the trio leaves a wake of reeling public officials, crooked cops, and thwarted would-be thieves.

This extraordinary tale proves that learning a life skill or two does not have to be stuffy. Resilient will keep you guessing, entertain you, and inject you into a captivating dilemma all the way to the final showdown. The ending is so unexpected that the role of destiny cannot be ignored.

PRESMISE QUOTE

The  premise quote for this novel is by former MLB All Star Dave Winfield from an address to the teams of the NCAA Men’s College World Series,  It is ued with permission,

 

“In your life, you are going to get knocked down. You can’t win every endeavor you attempt. Sooner or later, you will be crushed and humbled. Don’t be surprised by it. It happens to everyone in every pursuit, not just sports. The more important aspect of defeat and setback rests in what you do when you get back up. That’s where success comes from.”
