Caught Up

by Earl Sewell

Overview

“A straight-no-chaser coming of age tale.”
--Tracy Price Thompson


In the 80s, acceptance and popularity meant everything…

Theron’s world gets turned upside down when his family moves from the inner city to the suburbs. What is supposed to be a change for the better becomes his worst nightmare. His new neighborhood is populated by spoiled rich kids who don’t like outsiders.

Then Theron meets Millhouse, a social reject who befriends him, but their camaraderie does not come without sacrifice.

Just when Theron thinks he’ll never be cool with the popular kids, he discovers that he’s a gifted athlete with star power, and is willing to do whatever it takes, to bring a champion ship trophy to his school. But acceptance and popularity may cost him more than he bargained for.

About the Author

Earl Sewell was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Palatine High School. He continued his education at Columbia College where he studied Creative Writing.

Earl has always had two passions, the performing arts and athletics. During his high school years he performed in dance shows during the fall semesters and ran track and field in the spring. He always enjoyed writing but wasn't willing to let anyone see his work out of fear of being labelled as a too soft by his male friends. In college his professors encouraged him and by the time Sewell was twenty years old, he'd written several short stories and a novel.

Sewell has written a seven young adult novels over the past five years. His teen titles have enjoyed international success and have held steady positions on regional bestseller lists.
