Dear Reader…
I know things have been hard lately. Gas prices are up, the kids have been on top of you, and your job is demanding. Frankly, you need a break. I have just the book for you.
Grady Whill and the Templeton Codex is a great escape from the cares of everyday life. Not only is it perfect for your kids, you just might enjoy losing yourself in this coming-of-age story about a fourteen-year-old boy and his best friend.
Grady Whill is so ordinary that it hurts. Just when an exciting new school has opened with the promise to harvest potential so that a person could find their superpowers, he realizes he has no chance of getting in. Grady suffers from anxiety. He has asthma, and to make matters worse, his guardian cryptically refuses to allow him to apply.
His best friend, Aarush is mildly autistic and the target of the school bully. While Aarush appears as though he could care less, Grady works hard to shield him from the slights of their classmates.
Oddly enough, the school bully is the first to make Templeton, followed by Aarush and to surprise, Grady. Grady must navigate challenging concepts and an openly hostile teacher to unlock the possibility of superpowers.
Maybe, dear reader, you'll learn you have some abilities you never realized before as well.
Love, Carole

Templeton Academy- the superhero high school is finally open!
The prestigious academy is recruiting the best of the best to enroll in its student body.
The school is as mysterious as it is exclusive.
Grady Whill thinks there is nothing special about him to make the grade.
However, his best friend, Aarush Patel has been selected and thinks Grady has the right stuff.
Even school bully, Elwood Bledsoe is attending.
If Grady is fortunate enough to be picked, his guardian has forbidden him to attend.
Will a family secret prevent Grady from becoming the superhero he was destined to be?
“Roman’s writing is excellent: portraying wonderful, complex characters. Narrated by Grady, the story reveals his kindness and humor. (“Aarush lived in a smart home as opposed to my stupid home,” he tells readers). It also illustrates the lovely symbiotic friendship between Grady and Aarush, who protect each other from trouble and ridicule…With the book’s many touching, funny, and edge-of-your-seat moments, readers will be cheering to hear more from Grady.” Blue Ink Review
